【題目】 How long does a year last? Children might say that a year lasts forever. But your parents might say that a whole year can pass "in the blink of an eye". Why does time seem to pass faster as we get older?

According to scientists from Duke University, US, our brains degrade（退化）and change over time. This physical change causes the rate at which we take in and deal with new information to fall down.

Babies, for example, move their eyes much more often than grown-ups because they're dealing with images at a faster rate, Adrian Bejan from the university told the Daily Mail. They take in a lot of information and do many things in a single day. This makes them feel like· a single day lasts for a long time.

However, as people's brains degrade over time, fewer images are dealt with in the same amount of time. Therefore, older people receive less information during a day than younger people. This causes things to seem as it they're happening more quickly.

What's more, people may also "feel" time differently due to psychological（心理的）reasons. People may measure time by the number of memorable events that can be recalled（回憶）within a certain period.

Have you ever noticed that when you recall your firsts (first day of school. first family vacation, first birthday party, etc.), they seem to be in slow motion! That's because when something is a "first", there are many exciting things to remember. Recalling these memories makes you feel like they took forever, according to David Eagleman of the Baylor College of Medicine in the US.

For many grown-ups, life is made up of daily things. When they look hack they might feel like there are not many interesting things to remember. Therefore, time seems to be moving faster to them.

【1】The phrase "in the blink of an eye" has the similar meaning to "____________".

A.carefullyB.directlyC.slowlyD.quickly

【2】Time seems to pass faster as we get older because _____________.

A.human brains become smaller and smaller over time

B.grown-ups often forget things easily and quickly

C.grown-ups don't deal with information as quickly as babies

D.babies are able to do a lot of things in a single day

【3】What can we know according to David Eagleman?

A.Babies move their eyes much more often than grown-ups.

B.Psychological factors can affect how a person feels about time.

C.Recalling memories makes people feel like time is going faster.

D.Memorable events can slow down the pace of brain degradation.

【4】The author writes this article to ___________________________.

A.explain why people feel time differently as they get old

B.explain why babies learn things faster than grown-ups

C.encourage people to make better use of their time

D.encourage people to create more memorable memories

You were always there to take my call

A true Forever Friend

Life’s wandering roads may take us far But if we’re apart let each bright star Remind us how blessed we are

【題目】 Cars make our lives more convenient. But they can also be a problem. For example, fossil fuel(化石燃料) cars mainly cause air pollution.

To improve the environment, many countries are developing electric vehicles (EVs, 電動(dòng)車). Among them, China is taking a leading role and has created the world's largest EV market.

Last year, over 40 percent of the 753,000 EVs sold in the world were sold in China, more than twice as many as the number sold in the United States.

"Filling up a fossil fuel car with gas(汽油) is more expensive than charging (充電) an electric car，" said Wu Hao, who bought an electric car this year.

However, there are still some problems. It can be hard to find charging piles(充電樁) and the cars can't go far before needing to be recharged.

Some of these problems are being solved. In 2014，China had 31,000 charging piles. Now China has the world's largest EV charging network, with more than 167, 000 charging piles in total.

Developing EVs is one of many efforts that China has made to cut down pressure on its environment after the government promised to stop increases in carbon dioxide emissions(二氧化碳排放量) by 2030.

"As China goes, so will the world's car industry," The Wall Street Journal said. China has taken a leading role in the world's electric vehicle industry.

【1】_______ mainly cause air pollution according to the passage.

A.SubwaysB.Sharing bikesC.Electric vehiclesD.Fossil fuel cars

【2】Over _______ electric vehicles were sold in China last year.

A.150, 600B.167,000C.301, 200D.753,000

【3】What does Wu Hao think of charging an electric car?

A.It's more expensive than filling up a fossil fuel car with gas.

B.It's less expensive than filling up a fossil fuel car with gas.

C.It's as expensive as filling up a fossil fuel car with gas.

D.It's as cheap as filling up a fossil fuel car with gas.

【4】Which country has the world's largest EV charging network now?

A.America.B.Germany.C.China.D.England.

【5】What is the passage mainly about?

A.China has taken a leading role in the world's electric vehicle industry.

【題目】What’s the English word for the Chinese food Jiaozi? Perhaps you would say “dumpling”. But in fact, you can just say Jiaozi. It has been added to the Oxford(牛津) English Dictionary.

People in English-speaking countries now understand more Chinese words and their spellings in pinyin, according to a recent report by the CFLPA (中國外文局).

The CFLPA studied 50 media platforms(媒體平臺) in eight English-speaking countries, including the US, the UK and India. The report listed the top 100 Chinese words that people in these countries use most.

“Shaolin”, a temple in China that is famous for kungfu, was at the top of the list. Other popular words include “yinyang”, “gugong”, “renminbi”, “majiang”, “dama” and so on.

Some of the words are related(有關(guān)系的) not only to Chinese culture, but also politics, economics(經(jīng)濟(jì)) and technology. These words include zhongguomeng(Chinese Dream), yidaiyilu(the Belt and Road Initiative) and zhifubao(Alipay).

Why have these words become popular? It may be because of increasing interest in learning Chinese. The Confucius Institute(孔子學(xué)院), which offers Chinese lessons, has set up 1073 classrooms in 140 countries and areas, with 2.1 million students.

Chinese products are very popular around the world. For people in many foreign countries, products from China are part of their daily lives and may help them understand China better.

【題目】Dear Emma，

Your problem is like a circle. It is because you spend less time with them. The harder you study, the less time you have to spend with friends and the less friendly you look to your classmates. So you should spend more time with them.

Look at your classmates. Are there any people with whom you feel you have a lot in common or trust? You can make friends with them first. The advice is as follows:

First, smile at your classmates. Do this as often as you can, until your classmates become used to your smiles and smile back. Next, talk to your classmates. Do this between classes or during your lunch break. You may find it easier to start by talking to people when they are alone. Perhaps you could ask a classmate about your studies.

They are likely to respond (回應(yīng)) in a very positive way. People like to feel important and helpful.

There must be someone else in your class who is also quiet. It might be easier to try to talk with him or her. Your problem is mainly about confidence. Smile first, talk next and slowly you will make friends. The most important point is that: Unless you have more confidence, you can’t make as many friends as you want.
