Stop! Listen! What do you hear? You may hear many different sounds. Some of those sounds may be noisy. Noise is loud and unwanted sound.
Noise can be caused by many kinds of machines, such as motorcycles, jet planes, tractors and so on. And, to some people, rock bands are also noise.
What happened to people who live near noisy machines or use them over a period of time? Doctors find that these people have trouble in sleeping, But, most important, constant loud noise can cause a loss of hearing.

Today it is found that school students hardly pay much attention to sports. Is it because they aren’t interested in sports? No. They often say they have other more important things to do.
What are these important things? Examinations! Students have to spend much time on all kinds of examinations at school. So many of them almost become bookworms (书呆子). Books stop them from doing sports. Because of the pressure from their parents and teachers, the students have to work harder and spend most of their time on books. As for (就……而言) the students, they want to get good results so that they can improve their studies. So it is necessary（必要） for them to give all of their free time to their studies and stop their school sports
In fact, education can’t go without physical (身体的) exercises, because a quick mind hardly goes along with a weak body. If you don’t have a strong body, you can never get anything, let alone (更不用说) a great success in your life.
1. are the greatest problems, so the school students don’t pay much attention to sports now.
A. No interest B. Exercises C. Education D. Examinations
2. The underlined word “pressure” means “ ”.
A. happy feeling B. good care C. nervous (紧张) feeling D. deep love

Is there a connection between music and language？According to recent studies，the answer is yes：Music helps develop certain language abilities in the brain．
A study from Northwestern University shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person's hearing ability． As a part of the study， two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room．The people in the first group were musicians， while those in the second group had no musical training．The musicians were found to be able to hear the talking person more clearly．
Musicians hear better， says study leader Nina Kraus， because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds． For example， when the violinists play in an orchestra （管弦乐队），they must listen closely to what they are playing and ignore （忽视） the other sounds． In this way， musicians can hear certain sounds better， even in a room with lots of noise．
Gottfried Schlaug，a doctor at Harvard Medical School，works with stroke （中风） patients．Because of their illness， these people cannot say their names，addresses， or other information normally．However， they can still sing． Dr． Schlaug was surprised to find singing words helped his patients finally speak． Why does this work？Schlaug isn't sure． Music seems to be able to make different parts of the brain active， including the bad parts． In some way， this helps patients use those parts of the brain again．
So music is not only enjoyable， but also good for us in many other ways． Playing an instrument or singing， says Nina Kraus， can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp as we get older．
（1）What were the people in tbe first group asked to do in the study of Nothwestern University？

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？

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.
Samantha Lane，the officer who answered the call，was so moved by Sisu's love for the unicorn that she bought the ＄10 toy for the dog.
"The only thing we can think of is that he came from a family that had a similar toy or had children who had one， " said Joe Newbum，a director of Duplin County Animal Services.
"It's a nice dog，" Newbum added. "He likes to play and he is very smart.He sits，stays and shakes hands.He is very polite."

Proper Feeding of Dogs |
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.
