In southern England there stands a circle of huge stones! Local people call it Stonehenge. It’s said that it was built around 5000 years ago.

Stonehenge has about 80 stones and each is about five meters tall. They were 380 km away from where they were made. The ancient British people had only wooden tools. The stones might be moved by tree trunks. So it was a wonder to build Stonehenge. Scientists say it took millions of man-hours to move and raise the huge stones.

How did people move these huge stones from so far without machines? Nobody knows the answer. One record said the great stones were carried to England by magical aliens!

In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business, but he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his yard. That was the first photograph.

The next important date in the history of photography was 1837. That year, Daguerre, another Frenchman, took a picture of his studio. He used a new kind of camera and a different process. In his pictures, you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest details. This kind of photograph was called a daguerreotype.

Soon, other people began to use Daguerre’s process. Travelers brought back daguerreotypes from all around the world. People photographed famous buildings, cities and mountains. In about 1840, photographers could take pictures of people and moving things. Mathew Brady was a well - known American photographer. He took many pictures of famous people. He was also the first person to take pictures of a war. His 1862 Civil War pictures showed dead soldiers and ruined cities. They made the war seem more real and more terrible.

In the 1880s, new inventions began to change photography. Photographers could buy films ready - made in rolls. So they did not have to make the film themselves. The invention of the small handheld camera made photography less expensive. With the small camera, anyone could be a photographer. They took pictures of their families, friends and favorite places. They called these pictures “snapshot”.

Photographs became very popular in newspapers in the 1890s. Soon magazines and books also used documentary photographs. These pictures showed true events and people. They were much more real than drawing.

Photography also turned into a form of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photographs were not just copies of the real world. They showed ideas and feelings, like other art forms.

1.What was special about Daguerre’s pictures?

A.They were used for his business.

B.They were clearer than Niepce’s.

C.They were the first colored pictures.

D.They were for an artistic purpose.

2.What can we learn about Mathew Brady?

A.He took pictures of American Civil War.

B.He was the first to photograph people.

C.He invented a new type of camera.

D.He was a hero during the Civil War.

3.What made photography accessible to common people?

C.Newspapers and magazines.

D.Popularity of travelling.

4.What is the text mainly about?

A.The history the film industry.

Earlier research had suggested we're best at learning grammar in early childhood. Then we hit a dead end around age 5. It's supposed to be much harder for older kids. The time when people can learn the rules and structure of a language well appears to last until around age 17 or 18. “But that's not so, ”says psychologist（心理学家）Joshua Hartshorne.

Hartshorne asked friends to take an online English grammar test. After completing the test, volunteers answered questions about where they had lived,　 the languages they had spoken from birth and the age at which they first started learning English. Hartshorne also asked how long they had lived in an English-speaking country. As he had hoped, people shared the test widely online. This let Hartshorne's group study the answers from 669, 498 native and non-native speakers of English. The researchers used statistics to find out when people with different English-speaking experiences reached their top grammar ability.

If people moved to a new country and began speaking English by age 10 to 12, they finally spoke it as well as folks who had learned both English and another language from birth. But both groups scored a little worse than people who spoke English only, the researchers found. The test results showed that around age 17, people's ability to learn grammar took a sharp drop. And those who started learning English after age 10 or 12 never reached the same level of English skillfulness as people who started younger. Why？The researchers think it's because they had fewer years to practice before their skills dropped off at surprise：Language learning did not end at 17. People's English skills kept improving a little until around age 30, the new study found. And this was true among both native speakers and those who learned English as a second language. Still, most language learning happened by age 20, the new study decided.

1.What age period is best for grammar learning according to earlier research？

A.From 17 to 20. B.From 5 to 12.

C.Before age 5. D.From 20 to 30.

2.How did Hartshorne get his study statistics？

A.By experimenting in the lab. B.By making an online survey.

C.By studying historical records. D.By collecting earlier study results.

3.Which of the following agrees with Hartshorne's study results？

A.Language learning needs much practice.

B.Language learning ends at the age of 17.

C.The more languages you learn, the better.

D.It is best to learn language after 20 years old.

4.What is the best title for the text？

A.How native speakers learn English？

B.What's the best age to learn a language？

C.What's the best way to learn a foreign language？

D.Why non-native speakers can never master a second language？

Back in March, when the COVID-19 virus had just started its deadly influence across the country and people were terrified about a lack of every daily necessity, Jonny Blue focused on one particularly urgent need. Blue, a 33-year-old doctor saw reports of people buying and storing toilet paper. He came up with a simple yet clever solution.

One Saturday morning, Blue took a piece of cardboard, wrote “Share Your Toilet Paper” on it in huge letters, and camped out on the street corner. “It just inspired me to remind people that if you have a lot of something, that probably means there are people who don’t have very much of it because you took it all,” Blue said. “So sharing it is probably a good thing to keep in mind.”

The response was immediate and positive, with motorists honking horns(鸣笛) in support. Drivers stopped to drop off spare rolls of toilet paper, and, just as quickly, Blue handed them out.

“This guy said he just ran out and was going to a bunch of stores and couldn’t find any,” Blue said as cars went by. “Somebody had given me some, so I gave it to him. He was excited. He was like, ‘Do you want me to pay you?’ I said, ‘No, man. Take it.’”

A moment later, a driver in a white pickup truck slowed down just enough to take out a roll to add to Blue’s collections.

“People are loving it,” Blue said. “They’re honking, smiling, laughing. It’s kind of a hard time right now. People want a sense of community.”

1.What were people worried about at the beginning of the COVID-19 virus?

A.Unfriendly neighbors. B.Expensive toilet paper.

C.Lack of medical support. D.Not enough daily necessities.

2.What is the purpose of Blue’s action?

A.To stop buying and storing. B.To encourage toilet paper sharing.

C.To advise people to save toilet paper. D.To help people live a healthy lifestyle.

3.What does the underlined word “them” in paragraph 3 refer to ?

A.Drivers. B.Letters. C.Motorists. D.Rolls of toilet paper.

4.Which of the following best describes Blue?

A.Professional. B.Humorous. C.Warm-hearted. D.Outgoing.

China is a land of bicycles. At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I’ve found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. However, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it’s the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors --- silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.

It’s fun watching people biking. They rush quickly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks. Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’t provide.

Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.

My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn’t want to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.

Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.

I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.

1.According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?

B.The author was annoyed by the air while riding.

C.The author was praised by the other bikers.

A few years after Mom died, Dad showed up for lunch wearing the soft smile that took over his face whenever he was thinking about her. “I’ve found these,” he said, handing me a bag. “She would have wanted you to have them.”

I opened the bag to find dozens of shells, each one bearing Mom’s handwritten words: Stone Harbor, N. J. — 8-98. They were pretty common, but to Mom, they were evidence of her endlessly magical life.
