The size and shape of your ears show your character more than any other part of the face. Other parts of the face change shapes as we get older, but ears do not change their shapes. They only change in size.
Reading people’s character from their ears is a very old idea. In the past, people thought that a person’s ears with color were dangerous. They also thought that the shape of the ears showed whether a person was musical or not. Today, too many people believe that both the size and shape of the ears help you know if a person is musical.
Ears are all different, and each different thing has a meaning. Next time you look at a person, see if his or her ears are large, medium-size, or small. Look at the lobes. Are they next to the face? Ears that are always red mean that a person may get angry easily. Ears that are always cold and nearly white color mean that a person has a nervous (神经质) character.

In modern times, many people say, “Never give up and you will succeed”. However, in my opinion, sometimes giving up is also a kind of beauty. If we want to be successful in some things, we may have to give up other things, even some of our favorite ones.
At one time, I was very interested in basketball. I was crazy about playing basketball on the playground when school was over, which took me much study time. As a result, my grades went down. My teacher noticed that and had several heart-to-heart talks with me. I came to know that playing basketball made me get poor results, so I said goodbye to basketball. From then on, I spent more time studying and once again became one of the top students in my class. I was very happy and so was my teacher.
As is known to us, we students are the future of our country. Our country needs us very much. I’m sure that everybody has his or her own dreams and so do I. My dream is to be an excellent doctor because I can help many sick people. I think I must study hard. Only in this way can we realize our dreams. All in all, we should learn to give up something at the present time. Sometimes to give up something is to get more. Please believe that giving up can also be a kind of beauty.

Getting up an hour early is a good way to start the day. 32 As Benjamin Franklin once said, “Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”
● 33
After brushing your teeth, drink a glass of water with lemon juice. Why? Health experts (专家) say that this drink can jump-start (推动) your body’s cells (细胞), and keep them moving throughout the day.
● Don’t jump into social media (社交媒体) as soon as you wake up.
34 You decide to open up your Weibo. Well, don’t. Why? Because it may bring unhealthy feelings. You see a Weibo post about some society problems and the heated discussion will pull you in. Before you know it, an hour has passed, and you’re angry with people you don’t even know.

When we think of deserts, we usually picture sand and camels (沙子和骆驼). However, in the science world, a desert is a place that gets less than 250 mm of water each year. Although Antarctica is mostly covered in ice, it gets only about 150 mm of water every year. So it’s in fact a desert!Russia has 11 time zones.
Russia is the largest country in the world. And it covers many areas. It has an island (岛) called Big Diomede, which is not far from Little Diomede, an island in the US. Although the two islands are only about 4 km from each other, they’re in different time zones. So there is a 21-hour time difference between them!The Dead Sea is getting smaller.
The Dead Sea is the lowest (最低的) place on land, and it’s very important in the world. But it is getting smaller because of human activities! It used to cover about 1,000km², but now it covers only about 600 km².Australia is wider than the moon.
Australia is about 4,000 km wide, while the moon is only 3,400 km across. This makes Australia wider than the moon itself!
The earth may be over 4.5 billion years old, but it can still surprise us. It just goes to show what an amazing planet we live on!

The size and shape of your ears show your character more than any other part of the face. Other parts of the face change shapes as we get older, but ears do not change their shapes. They only change in size.
Reading people’s character from their ears is a very old idea. In the past, people thought that a person’s ears with color were dangerous. They also thought that the shape of the ears showed whether a person was musical or not. Today, too many people believe that both the size and shape of the ears help you know if a person is musical.
Ears are all different, and each different thing has a meaning. Next time you look at a person, see if his or her ears are large, medium-size, or small. Look at the lobes. Are they next to the face? Ears that are always red mean that a person may get angry easily. Ears that are always cold and nearly white color mean that a person has a nervous (神经质) character.
根据短文内容选择最佳答案。
21.The underlined word “lobes” in the passage means “________” in Chinese.
A.耳洞 B.耳鸣 C.耳垂
22.Reading people’s character from their ears is ________.

In modern times, many people say, “Never give up and you will succeed”. However, in my opinion, sometimes giving up is also a kind of beauty. If we want to be successful in some things, we may have to give up other things, even some of our favorite ones.
At one time, I was very interested in basketball. I was crazy about playing basketball on the playground when school was over, which took me much study time. As a result, my grades went down. My teacher noticed that and had several heart-to-heart talks with me. I came to know that playing basketball made me get poor results, so I said goodbye to basketball. From then on, I spent more time studying and once again became one of the top students in my class. I was very happy and so was my teacher.
As is known to us, we students are the future of our country. Our country needs us very much. I’m sure that everybody has his or her own dreams and so do I. My dream is to be an excellent doctor because I can help many sick people. I think I must study hard. Only in this way can we realize our dreams. All in all, we should learn to give up something at the present time. Sometimes to give up something is to get more. Please believe that giving up can also be a kind of beauty.
根据语篇内容,判断正误。(正确选A,错误选B)

Being successful is not easy. However, a study shows that good habits play an important part in it. For example, starting a day right is very necessary to them. 31
●Get up an hour early.
Getting up an hour early is a good way to start the day. 32 As Benjamin Franklin once said, “Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise.”
● 33
After brushing your teeth, drink a glass of water with lemon juice. Why? Health experts (专家) say that this drink can jump-start (推动) your body’s cells (细胞), and keep them moving throughout the day.
● Don’t jump into social media (社交媒体) as soon as you wake up.
34 You decide to open up your Weibo. Well, don’t. Why? Because it may bring unhealthy feelings. You see a Weibo post about some society problems and the heated discussion will pull you in. Before you know it, an hour has passed, and you’re angry with people you don’t even know.
● Exercise.
The middle of the day is a busy time for most people. By the end of the day, you may not have the time or energy to exercise. Exercising in the morning stops that from happening. Isabel Smith, one of the experts, said, “ 35 The result was amazing.” She also said that she would try her best to keep doing so.

Most of us know some simple geographical facts, like the highest mountain or the deepest ocean in the world. But for some surprising facts about our planet, you’ll have to read on!Antarctica is the world’s largest desert.
When we think of deserts, we usually picture sand and camels (沙子和骆驼). However, in the science world, a desert is a place that gets less than 250 mm of water each year. Although Antarctica is mostly covered in ice, it gets only about 150 mm of water every year. So it’s in fact a desert!Russia has 11 time zones.
Russia is the largest country in the world. And it covers many areas. It has an island (岛) called Big Diomede, which is not far from Little Diomede, an island in the US. Although the two islands are only about 4 km from each other, they’re in different time zones. So there is a 21-hour time difference between them!The Dead Sea is getting smaller.
The Dead Sea is the lowest (最低的) place on land, and it’s very important in the world. But it is getting smaller because of human activities! It used to cover about 1,000km², but now it covers only about 600 km².Australia is wider than the moon.
Australia is about 4,000 km wide, while the moon is only 3,400 km across. This makes Australia wider than the moon itself!
The earth may be over 4.5 billion years old, but it can still surprise us. It just goes to show what an amazing planet we live on!
