Have you ever heard"You never get a second chance to make a first impression （印象）？" It may sound like an unusual piece of advice， but it is true﹣ ﹣the first impression someone has of you when meeting you for the first time will probably influence how that person reacts toyou in the future．

What is even more interesting is that the brain takes in all the information to create that first impression in about three seconds．When you meet someone for the first time，by the time you have said your name or shaken hands， the other person has already formed （形成） an opinion about the kind of person you are．

So how do you make a good first impression？ Being polite and being well﹣dressed is very important．However，the most important way of making a good first impression is your face．Smiling almost always leaves a positive （积极的） impression on people， especially those who do not know you．Most people，generally speaking， are ready to smile back when they are smiled at．

What's more， smiling and being positive helps you to know and get a better understanding of new things． This means that you can possibly be friendlier to people you do not know and be more creative and able to solve problems more quickly． So if you ever need a reason to be happy， think about the wonderful people you might meet﹣ ﹣and impress﹣ with a cheerful smile．

We often face the following situations in our daily life：

    •The woman next door plays her piano after 12 o'clock at night

    •The family across the street never cleans up their yard．The rubbish blows into your yard．

    •The man next door always parks his car in front of your drive．

    Have things like this ever happened to you？If so，you may ask yourself，"Who are these people？Why are they doing these things to me？"

    These days，many people don't know their neighbors．Sometimes we share a friendly smile or say hello，but lots of people don't even know their neighbor's names!When you don't know someone，it's easy to be angry when something has happened that you think is unfair．You think，"Maybe they like to make me angry，"or"Maybe they do it on purpose．"Believe it or not，your neighbors probably don't mean to irritate you．Often，they don't even know that they're making you feel angry．So before you take unusual steps to fix the problem，you should discuss it with them first．

    When you move towards your neighbors，you should talk to them in a friendly manner．Praise their children to make them feel good．Then explain the situation．And if you can think of a simple way to solve the problem，suggest it．

    If talking doesn't work，ask another person to help，This person can listen to both sides of the story and help you and your neighbor solve the situation．

    Finally，sometimes it's a good idea to avoid the problem．Depending on the problem，it might be best to just stay out of your neighbor's way．

    I caught a cold． It was really a bad cold． Actually， the doctor later told me that I had the flu （流感）．

    My head was pounding． My throat was hurting． My body was aching．My voice became hoarse and I could hardly speak．I never experienced anything like this before．Worst of all， my sore throat was so serious that I couldn't even swallow（吞咽）!

    I knew I should drink more fluids﹣water， soup or juice ﹣ and maybe take some medicine． But I couldn't． Each time I tried to swallow， it hurt so much． So my dad took me to the hospital．

    A doctor came in．He checked my throat．He then checked my lungs．After his examination，he said，"Nothing to worry about． You have the flu．"

    "Why is it so serious？" I asked．"Can you give me some medicine so that I don't suffer as much？"

    "No，" the doctor said．"No medicine can cure （治愈） your flu． Don't be sad． Your body is an amazing thing． It will cure itself without any help．""What？ My body will fix things on its own？"I cried in disbelief．

    Yes， your body's immune system （免疫系统） will fight the virus （病毒） for you． No doctor or medicine will cure you．" repeated the doctor．

    My tears rushed out．I had not realized this in the past．Everything had always seemed so natural．I've had my meals every day for thirteen years． I drink water like taking a breath﹣without thinking about it at all．

    Now， I understand that even a simple thing like swallowing is like a miracle （奇迹）． The parts of my body do their jobs amazingly well一and yet quietly， without me even noticing．

    I don't remember how many days it took me to be well again， but I do remember what my father told me． He said that we should all appreciate our bodies and the miracle of how they are built．

Most viruses can be found and killed by our immune system as soon as they enter our bodies.However，some viruses，for example，the coronavirus，are sneaky.They are difficult to recognize and find.These viruses can cause deadly diseases，like COVID﹣19.Human﹣to﹣human transmission can easily occur，and pandemic will therefore break out.Vaccination is by now a simple，safe and effective way to protect us from the diseases.

▲Vaccines are something that "looks" exactly the same as the viruses，mainly made from the viruses that are weakened or killed.They will not make us really ill.They only stimulate and activate our immune system to work，telling it something harmful is coming in.The immune system will know what the "viruses" look like，and send B cells（lymphocytes）or antibodies to find and kill them.Meanwhile，B cells will remember them for the next kill.A vaccine may also give us passive immunity by providing B cells taken from an animal or a human to play the same role.

Scientists have developed more than 180 vaccines to fight against COVID49.The technical approaches of these vaccines can be a little different，but their aims are the same.

Take the inactivated vaccine as an example.In an inactivated vaccine，the coronaviruses are already killed or made into the ones unable to produce more new viruses.When the immune system "sees" them，it will try to kill them.The question is：without enough these viruses• how can B cells remember them？That's why we need to take the vaccine more than one time.Though this vaccine is safe，it might not be as effective as it is expected to be.

The live﹣attenuated vaccine is different.In this vaccine，the viruses are weakened，but they are alive.They can produce enough new viruses to train the immune system to kill and remember them，so people only need to take the vaccine once.The live﹣attenuated vaccine is considered the most effective，but there is a worry：what might happen once these viruses wake up？

Therefore，although vaccination is by now one of the best ways to protect us from COVID﹣19，it can be better.

（1）The coronavirus can 　 　.

A．	not be killed
B．	not be found
C．	cause deaths
D．	stop pandemic

（2）Which of the following can be the best topic sentence of Paragraph 2？ 　 　

A．	Vaccination can provide us with B cells.
B．	Vaccines are made from different viruses.
C．	Vaccination can prepare us against viruses.
D．	Vaccines won't make us ill as the viruses do.

（3）Compared to the inactivated vaccine，the live﹣attenuated vaccine 　 　.

A．	needs taking more than once
B．	is equally safe
C．	contains viruses that are killed
D．	is more effective

（4）What can we learn from the passage？ 　 　

A．	Vaccination is good enough to treat COVID﹣19.
B．	The immune system can be more effective with vaccines.
C．	The viruses in inactivated vaccines can make new viruses.
D．	180 vaccines have been developed to fight against diseases.

Everybody enjoys acts of kindness.But can you explain why？Some people think kindness is something out of love and care，while others believe it is just a tool that we use to become more popular.But research shows that being kind can activate （激活）an area of the brain called Striatum.Research also shows that kindness improves people's mood （情绪）.But why and how does it happen？Here are a number of different ways.

Being kind can make someone smile.If you see yourself smile in a situation，people around may be smiling，too.This is specially true for your close friends and family .A kind act makes someone who is sad feel better. Itcan also make ourselves fee good.So why not set off that chain（链条）of good feelings to people around？

Secondly，being kind starts or develops a social connection with others.Kind acts like buying someone a present make friendships stronger.Research has shown that spending money on others may help you get a stronger feeling of happiness than spending it on yourself.Similarly，charities（慈善）also open up new circles of people to connect with someone on the other side of the world.

In another recent research，even children in their first year of secondary school know how being kind makes them feel happy.If one person is kind，he or she makes others in the group kind.It also lifts everyone's spirits.Imagine that you make cakes for the office and it makes others do it each month.Then you're getting cakes a lot more days than providing them.

The story doesn't end here.Being kind may improve your mood，but research has also shown that if you're in a good mood，you can act much more kindly.This makes it a wonderful two﹣way relationship，doesn't it？

（1）The writer lends in the topic by 　 　.

A．	telling a story
B．	asking questions
C．	giving examples
D．	making a survey

（2）The underlined word"It" in Paragraph 2 refers to" 　 　".

A．	the situation
B．	the family
C．	the kind act
D．	that chain

（3）Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage？ 　    　

A．
B．
C．
D．

（4）If you were an editor（编辑），you'd put the above passage in " 　 　"of a newspaper.

A．	Science
B．	Wealth
C．	Invention
D．	Culture

Dogs may be man's best friends，but for Sisu，a stray dog，the unicorn（独角兽）is his best friend.

   Recently，Sisu broke into a store in North Carolina five times，trying to steal the same purple unicorn toy.But every time he got it，a salesman would find him，take the toy away and put it back on the shelf.When it turned out that Sisu wouldn't give up，the salesman had to lock the door and not let Sisu in，and then called Duplin County Animal Services for help.

Over 30 percent of all food goes to waste，according to The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization （联合国粮农组织）.Supermarkets throw away food that is not sold before its sell﹣by date，while families throw away food that they can't finish eating.

The world's first food bank was founded in the US in 1967.Some people and stores donated （捐赠） extra food to the bank.People could take the food home there if they didn't have money to buy any for themselves.In Shanghai，there is a "shared fridge" in some communities.It is free for everyone to take food from it.

A UK company called The Real Junk Food Project says that food that has passed its sell﹣by date is still safe to eat.They collect this food from supermarkets and sell it in cafes.You only have to pay as much as you feel is necessary.If you don't want to spend money，you can volunteer at the cafes instead.

What else can we do to stop food waste？The answer is simply buying less food.

Share more，throw less
