Several weeks ago, our headmaster, Mr. Gaudi, told us that our school had been chosen to compete on Smart Aleck—a game show which my best friend Carla and I both love. Carla has a good imagination, ______ I know a lot of history. So we thought we’d be good ______ for the team.

A few days later, Mr. Gaudi held a meeting with everyone interested in the ______ . He told us that Smart Aleck uses a five member team. He also said that three more people would be needed as backup (替补). ______ , four times that many students were at the meeting. So Mr. Gaudi said we would have a ______ among all the students present and the top ______ scorers would become the team and the backup. Everybody agreed that this was a ______ way to decide.

Yesterday, all of the hopefuls went to the dining hall after school. We would have to _____ the starting line-up（阵容）. Mr. Gaudi acted as the ______. After a couple of hours, all the ______on the team were set except one. Carla and I ______ for that last position. We had to hold a one-on-one competition ______ the two of us. The winner would be on the team and the loser would be the ______.

Midway through our two-person competition, I was starting to pull ahead. ______ I saw the look on Carla’s face. I waited for a second and knew what I had to do. As much as I wanted to be on Smart Aleck, Carla wanted ______ even more. So, starting with my next question, I held back and let Carla ______, just by a little bit. Her expression as she ______ she would be on the show made up for my not being on the team. And since I will go as backup, I’ll still have the ______ of seeing the show up close.

Was I ______ by not trying as hard as I could? I don’t think so. No one noticed, and Carla and I didn’t ______ it. It won’t hurt the team because Carla will be a very good competitor on the real show. I think that making my best friend happy was the right thing to do.

When most of us look at our hands, we might notice that we need to clean, or stop biting our fingernails, and that’s about it. But if you ask a doctor, he can see a whole lot more. Everything from poor diet and stress to serious kidney (肾) problems can be revealed by a glance at your fingernails.

There are about 30 different nail signs that can be associated with medical issues, though may indicate more than one problem, according to Dr. Amy Derick, a clinical instructor of dermatology at Northwestern University.

Here are five of the things a doctor can tell about your health based on your fingernails.

1. People who aren’t eating well and lack vitamin or dietary may have thinner than normal nails, which are more likely to break.

2. Horizontal lines are associated with serious physical stress. They frequently occur in people who have gone through chemotherapy(化疗).They can also occur after some illnesses, injuries, or with severe malnourishment(营养不良).Interestingly, there may be an altitude connection too. They’ve also been found in people who dove 1,000 feet and others who participated in an Everest exploration.

3. Vertical lines, however, are generally not such a big deal. Some people are more genetically prone to them than others, but they’re commonly associated with aging.

4. When people lack iron, their nails can turn spoon-like. Instead of curving down and covering the finger normally, they ’ll start to rise up on the sides and front, like the part of a spoon that holds liquid.

5. Kidney and liver problems can create “half-and-half nails”, where one part of the nail is white and the other part dark or pink, according to Derick.

Doctors note that because disease diagnosis is complex and some symptoms can be associated with different diseases, you should always see a medical professional if you are concerned about something you notice.

1.What is the main idea of the passage?

A. Doctors can tell us something about our health by looking at our nails.

B. We should see a doctor if we find nails in bad condition.

C. A famous doctor in the USA conducted an interesting research.

D. If we don’t want to get ill, we need to clean and stop biting our fingernails.

2.If we don’t eat well or regularly, our fingernails may ________.

A. become harder than normal nails.

B. become thinner than normal nails.

C. become “half-and-half” nails.

D. have horizontal and vertical lines.

3.Who will have horizontal lines on the nails ?

A. A cancer patient who has received normal treatment.

B. Hungry African children suffering from severe malnourishment.

C. An explorer who had reached Zhangjiajie in Hunan Province.

D. A patient with serious illness, like kidney and liver problems.

4.Which of the following best describes the nails that show people lack iron?

A. The nails are thinner and more likely to break.

B. The nails will curve down and cover the fingers.

C. The nails will start to rise up on the sides and front.

D. The nails will change their colours on the surface.

Something’s happening at the lowest point on our planet.

The Dead Sea, a salt lake bordered by Jordan to the east and Israel and Palestine to the west, is shrinking(缩小) at an alarming rate-----about 3.3 feet per year, according to the environmentalist group EcoPeace Middle East. And human actions are largely to blame.

“It’s not just like one country is punishing the Dead Sea; it’s more like the whole area,” said photographer Mortize Kustner, who visited the area in February to work on his series “The Dying Dead Sea”.

The Dead Sea needs water from the other natural sources surrounding it, such as the Jordan River basin. But around the 1960s, some of the water sources it relied on were diverted(使改道).Israel, for instance, built a pipeline during that time so it could supply water throughout the country.

Mineral extraction(开采) industries are another main reason the water levels are falling, experts say. The Dead Sea’s minerals have been used as medicine and can often be found in cosmetics(化妆品) and other consumer products.

And then, of course, there’s the Middle East’s hot, dry climate, which makes it difficult for the lake to replenish itself.

Last year, Israel and Jordan signed a $900 million deal in an effort to keep the Dead Sea’s water levels stable（稳定）. It includes building a canal from the Red Sea to the Dead Sea which would be able to not only supply water to Israel and Jordan but also to pump water into the Dead Sea.

But for now, Kustner shows us that the Dead Sea remains very much a place of interest, with people from all over the world going there to swim in its salty waters.

The Dead Sea, known as the Salt Sea in the language of Hebrew, is one of the saltiest bodies of water in the world. And because of what has been happening over the years, the salt is only getting saltier.

1.Which of the following is NOT a reason for the Dead Sea’s shrinking mentioned in the text?

A. Some of its water sources being diverted.

B. The extraction of the minerals in the sea.

C. Visitors from all over the world swimming in it.

D. The hot, dry climate in the Middle East.

2.What can we learn about the Dead Sea’s minerals?

A. They have practical value.

B. They are controlled by Israel.

C. They can be extracted very easily.

D. They are mainly used in heavy industries.

3.What does the underlined word “replenish” in Paragraph 6 probably mean?

A. To clean something.　　 B. To improve something.

C. To fill something again.　　 D. To find something again.

4.What would be the best title for the text?

A. What we should do to save the Dead Sea

B. More people travel to the Dead Sea

C. Why the Dead Sea is salty

D. The Dead Sea is drying out.
