Many people consider “being alone” an awful thing, for they think it either means you're anti­social, or unwanted. However, being alone isn't necessarily a bad thing. 1..

When you start to enjoy being alone, you'll get in touch with your own feelings. 2.. With that knowledge, it's then easier to manage your feelings.

Being alone makes you reflect more. 3., you're burning a lot of energy. Being alone is to the contrary. It provides the perfect environment for reflection. Since you aren't spending so much time processing the thoughts and feelings of others, it's the best time to turn your focus inward.

4.. Being in the company of other people can be entertaining. However, it can also seriously affect your concentration. Without disturbance, you can just put your head down and get to work.

Being alone gives you more freedom to do what you like. When you're constantly connected by other people, you're always making compromises to find solutions that the entire group can enjoy. Unfortunately, the things you want most may not always line up with what others want. 5..

Are you alone right now? Are you the person to see a movie alone? If there's no one to go with you, but it's a movie you're longing for, please enjoy it!

A.Being alone can be more productive

B.When you are in a state of being alone

C.When you're surrounded by other people

D.A handful of benefits will appear once you learn to enjoy being alone

E.You'll create a deeper understanding of what makes you happy and upset

F.So it's easy to enjoy being alone once you realize the great benefits it brings to you

G.Once you enjoy being alone, you'll come to find you enjoy the company of others even more

For people, many other animals, family matters. Consider how many jobs go to relatives. Or how an ant will cruelly attack intruder (入侵的) ants but rescue injured, closely related nest-mates. There are good evolutionary reasons to aid relatives, after all. Now, it seems, family feelings may stir in plants as well.

A Canadian biologist planted the seed of the idea more than a decade ago, but many plant biologists regarded it as heretical-plants lack the nervous systems that enable animals to recognize kin (家族), so how can they know their relatives? But with a series of recent findings, the belief that plants really do care for their most genetically close peers-in a quiet, planty way-is taking root. Some species control how far their roots spread, others change how many flowers they produce, and a few tilt (倾斜) or shift their leaves to minimize shading of neighboring plants, favoring related individuals.

“We need to recognize that plants not only sense whether it’s light or dark or if they’ve been touched, but also whom they are interacting with,” says Susan Dudley, a plant evolutionary ecologist, whose early plant kin recognition studies sparked the interest of many scientists.

Beyond broadening views of plant behavior, the new work may have a practical side. In September 2018, a team in China reported that rice planted with kin grows better, a finding that suggested family ties can be used to improve crop yields. “It seems anytime anyone looks for it, they find a kin effect,” says Andre Kessler, a chemical ecologist at Cornell University.

1.Why are ants mentioned in the first paragraph?

A.To show how cruel ants are to their enemies.

B.To lay foundation for the idea of plants’ family feelings.

C.To introduce the topic of how family matters to animals.

D.To explain why people usually give more jobs to their relatives.

2.Which of the following can best replace the underlined word “heretical” in paragraph 2?

A.Indescribable. B.Understandable. C.Impossible. D.Traditional.

3.What may be the plants’ way of expressing their care for relatives?

A.They stop producing flowers to avoid competition.

B.They spread their roots far so as to protect their peers.

C.They care for their injured peers by silently taking roots.

D.They move their leaves to share sunlight with their close peers.

4.What can be inferred from the text?

A.Different plants mustn’t be planted together.

B.Corn planted with corn can produce more than that with rice.

C.China has put the idea into wide practice and achieved great success.

D.The closer rice is planted with their relatives the more they will produce.

For many people shopping is considered to be one of the favorite activities. For most of them it is just buying some new clothes or presents for close people. But there is another way for whom shopping is much more than just enjoyable activity, it is a real addiction that in many cases leads to a financial disaster, as well as it brings troubles to person’s life and family.

So why can shopping be so addictive? What are the possible signs to be aware of? And how is it possible to stop the need of spending?

“Some of the new evidence suggests that some people, maybe 10%-15%, may have a genetic preference to an addictive behavior, coupled with an environment in which the particular behavior is caused, but no one really knows why.” However, it is much better understood as to why “shopaholics” continue with their unhealthy and destructive behaviors. Individuals get pleasure from their addiction the same way as if they were under drugs.

And when is it really possible to determine whether simple shopping has crossed the border and has already turned into addiction?

Shopaholics go out and buy things much more often than other people do. They often buy things they do not need. Many shopping addicts go on shopping binges(放纵) all year long and may be forced to buy certain items, such as shoes, clothing or kitchen items. Some just will buy anything. Many times they will spend over their budget limits and get into deep financial trouble, spending well above their income. While someone else will think many times if they can afford this or that thing, shop addicts will not recognize the boundaries of a budget.

1.We can learn from the 3rd paragraph that　　　　 .

A. shopping addiction is mainly caused by genetic factors

B. shopping addicts are also addicted to drugs

C. the real cause of shopping addiction is known already

D. shopaholics can’t control their unhealthy and destructive behaviors

2.The last paragraph is mainly about　　　　 .

A. the destructive behaviors of shopaholics

B. the early signs of shopping addiction

C. the problems of shopaholics

D. the binge of shopaholics

3.What could be most probably discussed in the paragraph to follow the passage?

A. How to treat shopping addiction.

B. What really causes shopping addiction.

C. When shopping addiction takes place.

D. What kind of people can become shopping addicts.

4. It can be inferred from the passage that　　　　 .

A. shopping addiction can’t cause serious problems

B. shopping addicts only want enjoyable activities through buying

C. it’s not a good idea to let a shopping addict pay by credit cards

D. shopping addiction can spread among different people

People use their mouths for many things. They eat, talk, shout and sing. They smile and they kiss. In the English language, there are many expressions using the word “mouth.”

For example, if you say bad things about a person, the person might protest and say “Do not bad mouth me.”  Sometimes, people say something to a friend or family member that they later regret because it hurts that person’s feelings. Or they tell the person something they were not supposed to tell. The speaker might say: “I really put my foot in my mouth this time.” If this should happen, the speaker might feel down in the mouth. In other words, he might feel sad for saying the wrong thing.

Another situation is when someone falsely claims another person said something. The other person might protest: “I did not say that. Do not put words in my mouth.”

Some people have lots of money because they were born into a very rich family. There is an expression for this, too. You might say such a person, “was born with a silver spoon in his mouth.” This rich person is the opposite of a person who lives from hand to mouth. This person is very poor and only has enough money for the most important things in life, like food.

Parents might sometimes withhold sweet food from a child as a form of punishment for saying bad things. For example, if a child says things she should not say to her parents, she might be described as a mouthy child. The parents might even tell the child to stop mouthing off.

But enough of all this talk. I have been running my mouth long enough.

Many scholarships require that you write an essay in order to be considered for the prize money. However, if you are the sort of person that has a headache whenever you have to complete a writing assignment, this may not be the best news. Luckily for you, there is no reason to fear the scholarship essay. The following tips could help you conquer this not-so-easy aspect of the scholarship application process.

You should always outline your essays. This does not just apply to the scholarship essays, either. An outline helps lend focus to your thoughts and helps you create a picture of the “whole” that the essay will become. Judges cannot to stand when your writing is loose, lacks coherence(连贯性)or when you fail to connect your main points together. They want to see that you can support your argument well with clear and brief examples and that these examples do, in fact, relate to the topic at hand.

If you have a choice in the topic you get to write about, always try to select something you are personally interested in. Don't write what you think the judges want to hear. This will only amount in an essay that reads like someone else’s, which is not a great way to make yourself stand out.

If you feel bored with the topic, then your essay will be boring as well. Make sure your idea follow a clear and a logical path. This means they are connected well and the transitions(过渡) easily flow from one idea to the next. Likewise, try to stay away from the obvious or the sad story. Yes, college will be a life-changing experience, but can you think of an interesting reason why this is so? And yes, it is terrible that you lost a family member at a young age, but what does it have to do with winning this scholarship? Judges can smell sad stories from a mile away, so only pull at the heartstrings(动人心弦) if you have a proper reason for doing so.

1.When writing a scholarship essay, an outline is necessary because it helps you_____.

A. focus on the details of the essay

B. think more about the scholarship

C. make a picture of the whole essay

D. support your argument well

2.Your essay will be appreciated by judges if it _______.

A. turns out to be loose

B. is short of coherence

C. is unable to connect to the main points

D. supports your argument with brief examples

3.What is the author’s opinion on choosing the topic for a scholarship essay?

A. The essay should include the obvious or the sad story.

B. You must keep your mind clear and logical.

C. You had better try to put an interesting story in it.

D. Try to say as much as you can about your family.

4.The intended readers of the passage are probably________.

A. college students　　 B. judges in colleges

C. essay readers　　 D. company leaders
