I don’t think I can recall a time when I wasn’t aware of the beauty of the ocean. Growing up in Australia, I had the good fortune of having the sea at my side. The first time I went to Halfmoon Bay, I suddenly had the feeling of not being able to feel the ground with my feet anymore.
For my 10th birthday, my sister and I were taken out to the Great Barrier Reef. There were fish in different colors, caves and layers of coral. They made such an impression on me. When I learned that only 1 percent of Australian’s Coral Sea was protected, I was shocked. Australian marine life is particularly important because the reefs have more marine species than any other country on earth. But sadly, only 45 percent of the world’s reefs are considered healthy.
This statistic is depressing, so it’s important for us to do everything to protect them. The hope that the Coral Sea remains a complete eco-system has led me to take action. I’ve become involved with the Protect Our Coral Sea activity, which aims to create the largest marine park in the world. It would serve as a place where the ocean’ s species will all have a safe place forever.
Together, Angus and I created a little video and we hope it will inspire people to be a part of the movement. Angus also shares many beautiful childhood memories of the ocean as a young boy, who grew up sailing, admiring the beauty of the ocean, and trying to find the secrets of ocean species.
1.From the underlined sentence in Para.1, we can learn the author ________.
A.seldom went surfing at the sea
B.forgot his experiences about the ocean
C.never went back to his hometown
D.had a wonderful impression of Halfmoon Bay
2.According to the second paragraph, Australian marine life ________.
A.is escaping from the Coral Sea gradually
B.depends on reefs for living greatly
C.may be faced with danger
D.is protected better than that in other oceans
3.The Protect Our Coral Sea activity is intended to ________.
A.contribute to a complete eco-system
B.prevent more marine species being endangered
C.set up a large nature reserve for reefs
D.raise more teenagers’ environmental awareness
4.Angus and the author created a little video to ________.
A.urge more people to take action to protect the marine species
B.inspire more people to explore the secret of the ocean
C.share their childhood experiences about the ocean
D.bring back to people their memories of ocean species

Tips for Cooking on a Tight Schedule
From my experience, there are three main reasons why people don't cook more often:ability, money, and time. 1.Money is a topic I'll save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:
1. Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when I'm already hungry and there's nothing ready to eat. So think ahead of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials already? 2.
2. Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread? 3. It takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.
3. 4.This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.
Hopefully that gives you a good start. 5.And don't let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!
A.Try new things.
B.Ability is easily improved.
C.Make three or four instead.
D.Understand your food better.
E.Cooking is a burden for many people.
F.Let cooking and living simply be a joy rather than a burden.
G.A little time planning ahead can save a lot of work later on.

We all use different ways to remember ideas, facts and things we need to store. Remembering is an extremely important part of our learning experience. Information process, storage and recall(回顾)encourage purposeful learning.
But the brain doesn’t store everything we want or need for future use. It makes choices and tends to remember information that forms a memorable pattern. Things you learned recently can be particularly difficult to remember because they haven’t taken root in your mind.
“Forgetting allows us to remember what is really important to our survival. We forget much of what we read, watch, and think directly every day.” writes John Medina in his book, Brain Rules.
How do you avoid losing 90%of what you’ve learned? An inspiring writer and speaker Zig Ziglar once said:“Repetition is the mother of learning, the father of action, which makes it the architect of accomplishment.”
Repetition has been a remembering skill for ages. When you hear or read something once,you don’t really learn it-at least not well enough to store the new information for long. The right kind of repetition can do wonders for your memory. People learn or remember better by repeating things or getting exposed to information many times. Others repeat particular steps or processes deliberately a number of times or even years to become better at certain skills.
Daniel Coyle explains in his book, The Little Book of Talent:“...closing the book and writing a summary, even short ones, forces you to figure out the key points, process and organize those ideas so they make sense, and write them on the page. When you pick it back up weeks later, reread all of your notes or highlights to strengthen the ideas even further.”
People learn by repeating things. Better learning is a repetition process. Every time we repetitively access something we already know, we increase the memory’s stored value.
1.Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A.The brain tends to store 90% of the things we learn.
B.The fresher the information is, the easier to remember.
C.Thinking is more important than remembering in study.
D.The brain tends to choose and keep what it thinks important.
2.How does the writer prove his opinion?
A.By giving examples. B.By listing numbers.
C.By borrowing words of experts. D.By providing scientific finding.
3.What does Daniel Coyle want to say in his book?
A.You can’t pay too much attention to repetition.
B.Summarizing is a very effective learning tool.
C.Forgetting forces human brain to make choices.
D.Regular repetition helps to form good habits.
4.What may be the purpose of the last paragraph?
A.To summarize and stress his opinion. B.To ask the readers to use the skills to learn.
C.To introduce his opinion and attract readers. D.To tell readers to increase the value of memory.
5.Which do you think is the best title of the passage?
A.How the Brain Works B.Reading for More
C.Fighting Against Forgetting D.Repeat to Remember

Most people think sleepwalkers (梦游者) walking around at night. But in fact, not all sleepwalkers walk. Some only sit up or get out of bed or act like how they often do during the day when they are sleeping! But most sleep walkers do get up and go around for a few seconds or half an hour.
Sleepwalkers' eyes are open, but they don't see the same way as they do during the day, and they often think they are in different rooms of the house or different places. Sleepwalkers usually go back to bed themselves and they don't remember it in the morning.
Scientists say that sleepwalking may sometimes happen when a person is sick, has a fever, is not getting enough sleep, or he has much stress.
There's no medicine for sleepwalking, but here are some ideas from doctors to help sleepwalkers:
Relax at bedtime by listening to quiet music.
Go to bed at the same time every day.
Keep everything quiet when you are trying to sleep.
Don't drink a lot in the evening and be sure you go to the washroom before going to bed.

When the morning sun looks in through your bedroom window, do you jump out of bed ? Or do you roll over and groan? Enough sleep can make the difference between a great day and a terrible one!
A good night's sleep doesn't just happen. You need to prepare for it. 1. First, go to bed at the same time every day, and get up at the same time. If you
haven't gotten a good night's sleep, don't oversleep the next morning. Get up at your regular time. Sleeping late for just a couple of days can change your body clock to a different cycle. You don't want that if you have a set daily schedule!
Also, avoid big meals at night. 2. Your stomach works hard to digest those fatty foods, and that may keep you up.
Your body produces a chemical called melatonin (褐黑色素) that helps you sleep. Light affects the amount of melatonin your body makes 3. . So at night turn off your TV and computer. Also, don't read from a backlit device like an iPad. Some scientists think that the light from those devices stops your body from making melatonin. 4.
Maybe you can't sleep or you wake up in the middle of the night. 5. Get up and do something relaxing elsewhere. Then go back to bed when you bed when you-feel sleepy. If you worry a lot, make a list of things you need to do the next day. Do that an hour before bed. That way you get your worrying out of the way before you go to bed.

F.So turn those screens off at least one hour before bedtime.
G.Eating heavy, rich food within two hours of bedtime can keep you awake.

Everybody is afraid of something. That’s what more than 1,700 kids told us when we asked them about fears and scary stuff. We gave kids a list of 14 scary things and asked which one frightened them most. Here are the top 5 answers from our survey (调查):① Scary movies and TV shows;②Scary dreams;③Thunderstorms,hurricanes(飓风);and other horrible weather;④War and terrorism (恐怖行动);⑤Sounds heard at night.
But not everyone is afraid of the same thing. And what makes one person scared can be of no big deal for someone else. Plenty of kids said their biggest fear wasn’t on our list.
What is fear?
Fear is a feeling that everyone has—it’s programmed into all of us—and that’s a good thing because fear is there to protect us. We’re born with a sense of fear so we can react to something that could be dangerous. The baby cries,and their mom comes over to comfort him or her,helping the baby feel safe and OK again.
Real vs. Pretend
The best way to get over a fear is to get more information about it. As kids get older,they understand more and start seeing the difference between what is real and unreal. So when William’s imagination leads him to think of witches,he can tell himself,“Wait a minute. They’re only pretend things. I don’t need to worry about them.”
The same goes for the dark. A kid’s imagination can start playing tricks when the lights go out. What’s under my bed?Is that a thief I hear?With the help of a parent,kids can get more comfortable in the dark. Using a nightlight or shining a flashlight under the bed to see that there’s nothing there can help kids fight that fear.
1.What did the writer find out from the survey?
A.Some people have never experienced fear.
B.Kids don’t like watching scary movies.
C.All people are afraid of something.
D.People often cry loudly when they are scared.
2.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.The list of fears is not complete.
B.The things people fear are of no big deal.
C.Kids have more fears than people think.
D.People are afraid of different things.
3.In the writer’s opinion,________.
A.having a sense of fear is not a bad thing
B.babies have a weak sense of fear
C.fear is not something that we are born with
D.not all people can react to dangerous things

Time is on your side
How frequently do you say “I don’t have time”? Quite often, I guess. Every time we say those words, they make us feel weak and out of control. You are in control of your hours and your life. 1.
I know it’s not as easy as simply turning off the TV. But here are two steps that will help you take back control and get time on your side.
★2.
Be honest: do you spend an hour or two visiting Weixin and QQ every day? Are you spending time with people that you don’t really like just to please them? Are there meetings you attend that you can politely refuse?
It’s time to get real about the hours that add up to a lot of dissatisfying nothing. Think how you can cancel daily activities that are not useful. 3.
★Change your language.
Words matter. They have power. Saying “I don’t have time” is an excuse for not wanting to do something. Here are some good, empowering alternatives (选择):
“I choose not to start that project until next year.”
“4.”
“I’d love to go out this weekend but have important work I need to do first.”
Get better at saying no. 5. Use little pockets of time (friend running late, car stuck in traffic, meeting ending 10 minutes early) to do some productive thinking. All these things can add up over time more than you believe!
A.Identify your blocks.
B.But you are likely wasting a lot of it!
C.I really don’t have enough time to do it.
D.Replace them with things that satisfy you.
E.Take no notice of all those unimportant messages on your phone.
F.I’d love to read that book — I’ll get to it after my homework is complete!
G.When you don’t have a plan for your life, someone else will plan it for you.

When you are walking on the road, your phone ring invites you to check it. 1. After texting, your eyes remain glued to the screen, even though you are walking across the street.
2. This behavior has aroused debates among lawmakers about whether walking and texting should be illegal. Some cities, such as Honolulu and Rexburg, Idaho, have banned distracted (思想不集中的) walking altogether.
But we shouldn’t let that make us less worried. Last year, pedestrian (行人) deaths in the United States were at their highest point since 1990, with distracted drivers and bigger vehicles the chief culprits (肇事者). 3.
“When you’re busy doing secondary tasks like texting, you don’t judge gap distances in traffic as well. You walk slower. You make poor decisions. 4. That is the main reason of some traffic accidents.” said Mr. Kolosh of the National Safety Council.
5. I talked to neuroscientists (神经学家) and psychologists about our conduct. All agreed that texting while walking might be a form of addictive behavior.
But this article isn’t about pointing fingers. Rather, now is a good time to reflect on why we are so glued to our phones, what we know about the risks and how we can take control of our personal technology rather than let it control us.
A.So why do we do it?
B.You type a message.
C.You’re not aware of your surroundings.
D.We don’t ever want to blame the drivers.
E.We all do this kind of distracted walking.
F.So being fixed on a screen while walking can’t be safe.
G.You put your phone in your bag instead of your pocket.
