When we sit down to plan, we will be able to see clearly what is more important to us. It gives us direction (方向) in life. When we have a plan, we know what our next step is. This helps us to be more organized (组织). It helps us be more prepared for the future. When we know what is ahead, we can be better prepared. We will be ready for problems that may happen. HOW to PLAN Have a calendar. Whether we are planning for a week or a month, having a calendar helps us know what to do on which day. Discuss your plans with your parents. It is important to know what your parents expect you to do on certain days. Ask them which days you should set aside for tasks they might have for you. Write down your plans. You can do this in a notebook or a whiteboard. Make sure it can be easily seen. 6. What is the main aim of this brochure (宣传册)? A. to show readers what is more important in life B. to help readers be more prepared for the coming year C. to tell readers the importance of planning in their lives D. to tell readers the importance of talking to their parents 7.

It is a word taken from another language. 8. Based on the brochure, which of the following is true? A. Planning helps us to organized our life. B. Our parents should write down our plans for us. C.

They can help us buy calendars and notebooks. C Some animals can easily find their way home after a long journey. How do they make it? Scientific research shows that they are born with certain unusual abilities for direction. A certain kind of ants, for example, can count their steps to avoid getting lost. They can go as far as 110 metres and bring food home. These ants live in the open desert (沙漠), so they have nothing to guide them along the way. It’s like someone walking six kilometres through a dark forest. Some fish have an unbelievable sense of smell. They can smell even a single drop of their home water in a large sea area. Some sea birds have a similar ability. They are able to make a smell map of their flying area. Some animals can sense the earth’s magnetic field (磁场), while humans can’t. This magnetic field guides a certain kind of fish when they swim a long way to a place and then back. How can this kind of fish do that? It is still a mystery. Scientists have no good answers yet. However, animals with such unusual abilities still have difficulty dealing with environmental changes caused by human activities. For example, many birds depend on stars for direction, but they get lost easily at night when city lights are kept on all night. To solve this problem, we can simply turn off some lights at night. Clearly, one small act of humans may mean a lot to animals. 11. Where is this passage most probably from? A. A storybook. B. An art magazine. C. A guidebook. D. A science magazine. 12. How can a certain kind of ants find their way? A. By imagining the way. B. By counting their steps. C. By bringing food together D. By walking through a forest. 13. What does the underlined word “mystery” in paragraph 4 probably mean? A. Secret. B. Choice. C. Reason. D. Feeling. 14. What are people advised to do according to the last paragraph? A. To help animals. B. To travel at night. C. To keep city lights on. D. To develop unusual abilities. 15. Which can be the best title for the passage? A. Birds’ Sense of Light B. Fish’s Sense of Smell C. Animals’ Sense of Direction D. Animals’ Sense of Magnetic Field D Chinese ancient wisdom puts the year into 24 solar terms (节气). Cold dew (寒露) is the 17th solar term of the year. It starts this year on Oct 8 and ends on Oct 23. At this time, the weather gets colder in most parts of China. The dew is greater and colder. That’s why this time is called cold dew. There will be less rain, but there will be some fog (雾). Good things come along at this time, too. Autumn crops (农作物) will be ripe (成熟). It’s also a good time for fishing. That’s because it’s colder in water during the cold dew time. Fish like to swim in shallow water where it is warmer. Hiking is another popular activity during this time. North China takes on a beautiful look of late autumn with white clouds, red leaves, and early frost (霜). Chongyang Festival also known as the Double Ninth Festival, often falls around cold dew. It is the ninth day of the ninth month in the Chinese calendar. On this day, people often climb hills and wear cornels (茱萸). Food during cold dew ● Pomegranates (石榴) Pomegranates are ripe during cold dew. Chinese people think pomegranates stand for many children and many good wishes. They also taste good, have a nice color, and are healthy. ● Hawthorns (山楂) There is a saying that goes “It is time to harvest (收获) hawthorn during cold dew.” For a long time, people have used hawthorns in herbal medicine (草药). They think it’s good for blood flow (血液循环) and heart health. ● Chrysanthemum wine (菊花酒) Chrysanthemum is the seasonal flower of cold dew. To stop autumn dryness (干燥), people in many parts of China drink the chrysanthemum wine. This is also a tradition of the Double Ninth Festival. 16. Cold Dew is the ________ solar term in a year. A. eighth B. seventeenth C. twenty-fourth D. twenty-third 17. Which one of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. B. C. D. 18. During Cold Dew, people like eating pomegranates, because ________. A. it tastes good and have a beautiful colour B. It brings people a very good harvest C. it stands for many children and many good wishes D. it’s good for blood flow and heart health 19. Which one is true about Cold Dew? A.

It appeared in France and was used by the French king (国王) Louis XV in the 18th century. From then on, many pioneers started to improve staplers from time to time and George W. MeGill was one of them. George W. MeGill worked hard and succeeded in making his staplers popular with customers. In 1866, he got his first US patent (专利). Later, he continued to improve his staplers and got another US patent. His staplers were small, light and easy to use, while others’ remained heavy and difficult to use. As a result, the trade of his staplers developed very quickly. What’s more, his staplers were sold at a low price. Today staplers can be seen everywhere. They come in all different shapes and sizes.
