Remembering that I’ll be40soon is the most important tool I’ve ever known to help me make the big41 in life because almost everything falls away in the face of death，42only what is truly important.

About a year ago I was43with cancer. My doctor even advised me to go home and get my affairs 44order，which is a doctor’s way of telling people to prepare to die. I45with that diagnosis all day. 46，at last an advanced test showed that it was a very rare cancer that is47with surgery. I had the surgery and I’m fine now.

Are you angry？Unhappy in your job？Wish you had an outlet for those feelings?

Well, if you lived in Buenos Aires, Argentina, you could go to the Break Club. It’s made up of a group of people who get together to smash up rubbish as a way of venting (发泄) their aggression. They can throw bottles at the wall, or take their frustration out on an old computer.

Mora, a club member, is a 22-year-old media producer who works hard and is always stressed out. She says, “I have to deal with deadlines, with so many people and so many things every day. . . My nerves are at breaking point. Well, now it’s time I should break something too. ”

She wears overalls, thick gloves and visor (脸盔) to protect her eyes. In her hands there’s a baseball bat ready for action. After trashing an old computer monitor, Mora is almost breathless but has a smile on her face. “I feel like a new person. I’m happy! After this, I’m ready for anything！” she says.

Do you fume when your own computer crashes？Perhaps you’d feel better if you could do what 27-year-old Yamilla did to her keyboard-attack it with a hammer! The club’s creator, Guido Dodero, says Argentinians are a bit angry by nature and they like psychoanalysis. He thinks the key to the club’s success is being a mix of both.

About 85% of his clients are young women. Dodero explains: “This is still quite a macho (大男人的) country. Women feel they need to take certain roles in society. They need to break from that every now and then and the club is the place for that. ”

Some members bring a picture of an ex-fiancée to destroy. Others bring a picture of. . . Well, it could be of you or me. Natasha works in a call center and does to the old equipment what she might like to do to her callers. The young woman says her job drives her mad.

The Break Club’s creator says this is the only one of its kind in South America, but he’s heard that there are similar places in Spain, Japan and the US. Who knows, one day there might be one near you. Do you feel like breaking things?

1.The Break Club is a place where you can ________.

A.break anything as you like

B.tell your frustration to the experts

C.vent your aggression by breaking rubbish

D.share your terrible experiences with others

2.What does the underlined word in Paragraph 5 mean?

A.Get angry. B.Get nervous.

C.Feel shocked. D.Feel helpless.

3.We can learn from the passage that ________.

A.Dodero creates and manages the club

B.Mora is tired of working with many people

C.Yamilla takes a computer apart when angry

D.Natasha vents her anger through calling friends

4.Why are the clients in the club mainly young women?

B.They are fighting with men for equal rights.

C.They enjoy themselves in such a kind of club.

D.They greatly need to reduce their pressure.

If you live in the U.S., you’re probably used to throwing banana peel into the trash. But people in other countries, including India, have been taking advantages of their nutritional benefits for many years.

While the flesh of a banana is soft and sweet, the skin is thick, hard and slightly bitter. To eat the peel, you can fry, bake, or boil it for at least 10 minutes. Also, the riper bananas get, the thinner and sweeter banana peel will become. That’s because of a natural plant hormone(激素) called ethylene(乙烯) that fruits release as they ripen. Ethylene interacts with the sugars and fiber in the banana skin, changing complex sugars into simple sugars and breaking down pectin, a form of fiber in bananas that keeps them stiff. That’s why the older your banana is, the flimsier(不结实的) it feels.

The sweet flesh of a medium-sized banana contains great percentages of your daily recommended intake of various nutrients, such as:

·12% of your daily fiber, which helps with digestion and may help lower your risk of diabetes(糖尿病)

·17% of your vitamin C, which is important for your immune system as well as your growth

·20% of your vitamin B6, which aids the body’s ability to turn food into energy

·12% of your potassium, which helps with the development of cells, tissues, and organs throughout the body

If you eat the skin along with the flesh, you will get an even bigger increase in these same nutrients.

Eating the peel is not only good for your body but also better for the earth. The average American ate 11.4 pounds of bananas in 2014. Since a medium-sized banana weighs about 0.3 pounds, that equates to about 38 bananas per person, or about 12 billion for the whole of the U.S. And since most of us throw away the peel, that also means a lot of organic waste.

1.We can learn from the text that in the U.S. people ________.

A. like eating bananas

B. waste a lot of food every year

C. don’t make good use of banana peel

D. know little about the value of the flesh of bananas

2.What’s the role of ethylene in bananas?

A. Helping bananas grow faster.

B. Making banana peel stay strong.

C. Keeping banana flesh from going bad.

D. Helping to soften and sweeten banana peel.

3.Which of the following helps humans digest?

A. Vitamin C.        B. Potassium.        C. Vitamin B6.        D. Fiber.

4.The last paragraph mainly shows that eating banana peel benefits our ________.

A. diet                B. economy            C. environment        D. physical health

If you live in Shanghai, you might have to take a "lesson" in sorting garbage（垃圾分类）, as the city recently introduced new garbage-sorting regulations（条例）. It's now required that people should sort garbage into four categories, namely recyclable, harmful, dry and wet waste. However, if people fail to sort their garbage properly, they can be fined up to 200 yuan.

More cities are introducing similar regulations, following the practice in Shanghai. By the end of 2020, garbage-sorting systems will have been built in 46 major Chinese cities, including Beijing and Shenzhen, reported People's Daily.

According to a study by the Policy Research Center for Environment and Economy, under the Ministry of Ecology and Environment, over 90 percent of the public believe that garbage sorting is important for the protection of the environment. However, garbage sorting is still a big problem in China. Only 30 percent of participants said they think they are adequately（充分地）sorting their trash, the study noted.

According to Xinhua News Agency, it's partly because many people lack the willingness to sort their own waste. In the past, some previous garbage regulations didn't give clear fines for people who failed to sort garbage.

"It's a must to have a legal guarantee to promote garbage sorting." Liu Jianguo, a professor from Tsinghua University, told China Daily.

Liu Xinyu, a researcher of the Shanghai Academy of Social Sciences, told China Daily that the importance of the new regulations in Shanghai is to change the past voluntary action into compulsory action for everyone.

Aside from China, many other foreign countries have also introduced garbage-sorting regulations. In Japan, waste sorting has become a basic survival skill. In Germany too, people are asked to sort waste into specific categories. For example, in Berlin, people have yellow bins（垃圾桶）for plastic and metals and blue bins for paper and cardboard.

1.What do we know about garbage sorting in Shanghai?

A.It sets an example for many other cities in China.

B.People should put their garbage into two categories.

C.People will be fined 200 yuan each time they break the regulations.

D.Shanghai is the only city to introduce garbage-sorting regulations in China.

2.What is the current situation of garbage sorting in China?

A.Some people can properly sort their garbage.

B.Few people know the importance of garbage sorting.

C.People are not happy with the current garbage sorting regulations.

D.China's garbage-sorting problem is the most serious in the world.

3.Which of the following best explains "compulsory" underlined in paragraph 6?

A.Willing. B.Motivated.

C.Selected. D.Forced.

4.What is the main idea of the text?

A.Why garbage sorting is important.

B.How other countries sort garbage.

C.Garbage sorting has started in China.

D.The world's garbage problem is becoming worse.
