Planning a Beautiful Day
Finally, Professor Challenger had his chance to speak.
“Ladies and gentlemen,” he began, “Mr. Waldron is not a real scientist. He only explains our work to the general public. He is wrong when he says that certain animals have already disappeared. Nobody here believes me, but I am prophet (先知) of science. I am like Galileo and Darwin, and I…” The Professor walked forward and put up both hands. Everybody became silent.
‘I won’t say any more. You can, however, test my ideas. Do you want to send somebody to prove that?”
Then, the famous scientist Professor Summerlee stood up.
“Are you talking about the discoveries that you made in the Amazon (亚马逊) two years ago?” asked Professor Summerlee.
“Yes, I am,” replied Challenger.
“And why didn’t Wallace, Bates and other famous explorers of that area see these things?” continued Summerlee.
“Perhaps, sir, you have mixed up the Thames with the Amazon. It’s not strange that I saw things that they didn’t see.”
“Yes, of course,” continued Summerlee, “I understand the difference. We can’t test or prove your discoveries.”
“Will you go on a journey to test my discoveries?”
“Yes, I will,” answered Summerlee, and the crowd cheered.
“Then,” said Professor Challenger, “You will have all the information you need to go there. But you can’t go alone. Who will go with Professor Summerlee to the Amazon?”

五、阅读下面的短文,根据短文内容回答问题。
Liu Qing hasn’t slept well for months. Every day, the 13-year-old middle school student wakes up with dark circles around her eyes. She has lost interest in everything and doesn’t want to talk to anyone. She knows she’s got depression(抑郁症 ).
Liu is one of many who suffer from(患……)depression. According to World Health Organization(WHO), about 264 million around the world are affected(感染)by depression. In China, depression affects around 54 million people and is one of the leading causes of suicide(自杀).
To bring depression to people’s attention, Zhang Nan, a 27-year-old photo studio owner in Wuhan, Hubei, started a photo project called Crinkled Fog. Over the last three years, he has taken pictures of over 100 people fighting with depression. “Although things have been better with people talking openly about it now, there are still misunderstandings about mental illness,” Zhang said.
Depression is, in fact, a real illness. Just like your body, your moods(情感)can fall ill, too. No matter how terrible it is, there are effective(有效的)treatments. A main problem is that people are ashamed of the illness and don’t look for professional help. Experts suggest we take an active and open view of depression and support our friends and family members who are experiencing depression.
If you feel depressed, it’s best to do something about it—depression doesn’t just go away on its own. Besides getting help from a doctor, here are some other tips.
◆Exercise. Take a walk for about half an hour every day—or dance, or bike if you prefer.
◆Share. When you know what’s got you feeling blue and why, talk about it with a caring friend.
◆Try to notice good things. Depression makes everything seem hopeless. So try to notice the good things in life.
1.What’s the matter with Liu Qing?

2.How many people are affected by depression in China?

3.Why did Zhang Nan started Crinkled Fog?

Hello, boys and girls!
Pressure is a serious problem in today’s world. Students in our class are under too much pressure. Some students can’t get on well with their classmates, while others may worry about their exams. I’m always under pressure, too. My parents want me to be the top student in class. So they send me to all kinds of training classes at weekends.
Last Monday evening, I had a talk with my mother. I told her I was not lazy. I really felt tired. I needed time to relax. My mother agreed with me at last. So I think a conversation with parents is necessary to solve the problem. What’s more, I usually relax by listening to music or reading. Talking to friends is a good way to reduce pressure. That’s all. Thank you!
