On a hot day，many people like to go to the beach.Some beaches，however，are not safe for swimming.
At some beaches，there are sharks in the water.So people put out shark nets.They help stop too many sharks from getting close to the beach.Sharks can still swim under or around the net.But if they try to swim through，they will get caught.Sharks can die if they are not cut free.
Shark nets don't just catch sharks.They can catch other animals，too.They have caught dolphins，stingrays and turtles.Even a whale has been caught in a shark net.I took many people to get it free.
Some animals are not so lucky.They are killed in the nets.One day，a whale was swimming with her calf.The calf got caught in a shark net.The mother whale tried to get the calf to come with her.The calf was caught in the net.It couldn't get free.The mother had to watch it die.
Many people think shark nets should not be used.Sharks are important to the ocean.They eat sick and dead fish.They help to keep the ocean clean.Sharks are the lions and the tigers of the sea.
Some people think there are other ways to keep beach safe for people.Sharks potters are people who watch for sharks.They go to a high place.Then they can look down on the beach.If they see a shark，a siren（汽笛）will sound.They put up a white flag.Then people get out of the water.
After all，the water is a shark's home.

Read these tips，and don't get fooled by fake news!
1.Check the source （来源）

2.Watch out for fake photos
Many fake news stories use images （图像）that are Photoshopped or taken from an unrelated site.Sometimes，if you just look closely at an image，you can see if it has been changed.Or use a tool like Google Reverse Image search.
3. （3）
Look to see if the story you are reading is on other news sites that you know and trust.If you do find it on many other sites，then it probably isn't fake（ although there are some exceptions）.
4.Look for other signs
There are other methods that fake news uses.These include using ALL CAPS （全大写）and lots of ads that come out when you click on a link. （4） If the news story makes you angry，it's probably designed to make you angry.

When most people decide to buy food, they go to a grocery store. Grocery stores sell many different kinds of food in just one store. Some grocery stores also sell household goods such as kitchen paper, cleaning things, and diapers （尿布）. A grocery store is a convenient place to shop for the kitchen and others.
Although it is comfortable and relaxing to shop at a grocery store, some people decide to buy their food from other places like farmers' markets. At a farmers' market, local farmers sell the foods they grow to customers. The foods they sell often include fruits, vegetables, and meats. Most of these foods are freshly harvested（收获）with no man-made additions.
There are several ways in which farmers' markets are less convenient than grocery stores. For example, packed foods usually are not sold at farmers' markets. Besides, many farmers do not accept credit（信用）cards or checks （支票）as payment for their goods. What is more, most farmers' markets are only open for business once or twice each week. This makes some people not want to shop at farmers' markets, but others are willing because of the fresh and local food there.
Deciding whether to shop for food at grocery stores or at farmers' markets is a personal choice. This choice reflects a person's values about life and about food. Those who value convenience and（多样）will probably choose to shop at a grocery store. People who value freshness and enjoy supporting local farmers will probably prefer the farmers' markets. Luckily, most communities provide choices for both kinds of shoppers.
（1）According to the passage，which of the following may not be sold at a farmers' market？

（3）In Paragraph 3，why does the writer mention that farmers' markets "are only open for business once or twice each week？ "
| A． |

| B． |
To help readers look for a better farmers' market. |
| C． |
To explain why farmers' markets are less convenient than grocery stores. |

I've already been here for several weeks, and I feel like I am finally adapting （适应）to the culture. I'm also speaking the language better.I arrived here on September 1st. The weather has been very nice. Even though it's October, it's still rather sunny and warm. In fact, I went to the beach and swam in the Mediterranean Sea（地中海）earlier today.I am living with a very welcoming host family. I have my own private bedroom.

"Life's a long，long journey." so we are told，and most of us would not set off on a journey，even a short one，without some ideas of where we wanted to go.Yet many people travel on life's journey with no sense of direction at all.
Setting personal goals can give your life a sense of direction.Goal setting is used by top sports players，successful business people and achievers in all fields.Before you set personal goals，think about what you want to achieve with your life.

To help make the process more manageable，divide your goals into smaller tasks.For example，if you want to reach a main goal in five years，set a three﹣year goal，a one﹣year goal，a three﹣month goal and a one﹣month goal.Then create a daily To﹣Do List of things that you should do today.When a goal is achieved，take the time to enjoy your success.This helps you build the self﹣confidence.

"I have no special talent.I'm only passionately curious. " This famous quote from Albert Einstein might tell the reason for his success.When Newton discovered gravity，and when Thomas Edison invented the light bulb，their curiosity was greatly satisfied.If they hadn't been curious，what a loss for humans!
There is a common truth that intellectual curiosity （求知欲）contributes to school performance more than intelligence.Some studies also show there are benefits of curiosity in improving the long ﹣ term level of learning and memory，and a lot of positive results are connected with curiosity.
It has been known that both animals and humans are willing to take a risk to satisfy their curiosity despite knowing that the result will remain unchanged.Despite there being different views on the reason for curiosity，most experts reach an agreement that like the way the stomach looks for food，our brain looks for knowledge.People and animals are eager to know things because getting that information means a reward.
An interesting thing is that our brain will release a pleasure﹣related chemical when it has been given new information ，making seeking information much like eating — another pleasant activity.Researchers newly found that increasing the release of the chemical greatly increased the curiosity in animals.However，how exactly the chemical plays a role still remains a mystery.
Considering the present level of research on curiosity and the driving force of curiosity，including scientific curiosity，more research should be carried on in this field.It's safe to say that curiosity itself will help uncover curiosity.And remember even though the idiom says "Curiosity kills the cat"，it ends with satisfaction bringing it back.
（1）What do the examples mentioned in Paragraph 1 intend to tell us？
A.The importance of being curious.
B.The advice from successful people.
C.The reason why humans keep curious.
D.The relationship between curiosity and efforts.
（2）What can we learn about intellectual curiosity from Paragraph 2？
A.It often requires long﹣term training.
B.It helps people develop a positive lifestyle.
C.Students with it learn better than those smart ones.
D.Students born smart often have stronger intellectual curiosity.
（3）Which of the following ideas is generally accepted about curiosity？
A.Human curiosity comes when they want to change results.
B.It is natural and common among humans and animals.
C.It is often related to some adventurous activities.
D.Animals' curiosity appears with hunger.
（4）What does the author mean in the last paragraph？
A.Curiosity takes many different forms.
B.People may make mistakes because of strong curiosity.
C.Curiosity makes people dissatisfied with their present situations.
D.People should do more research on curiosity with some curiosity.
（5）Which of the following is TRUE about the passage？
A.It's safe to say that curiosity itself won't help uncover curiosity.
B.People shouldn't have any curiosity.
C.Intellectual curiosity contributes to school performance less than intelligence.
D.Increasing the release of the chemical greatly increased the curiosity in animals.
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 |
|
| Food（1） . |
Over 30 percent of all food goes to waste. Supermarkets throw away food that has （2） its sell﹣by date. Families throw away food that they can't finish eating. |

It was created in the US in 1967. People who couldn't（3） any food for themselves could get food for free. Shanghai communities have shared fridges. |
| Pay as you（4） |
The Real Junk Food Project collects that food that is not sold before its sell﹣by date. People can get food by volunteering at the cafes （5） paying as they wish. |

That's the least people can do. |
Nowadays，kuakuaqun or praise groups have become more and more popular on the Internet，Their aim is to comfort young people.These groups provide words of support for those who are unhappy.
Spending just a little money，you can enter such a group.Share your problems or success，and you will receive positive messages soon.These messages，mostly from strangers，will help you feel better.A leader of one of the groups talks about his first purpose，"I want to help people learn to praise others and accept others，praise."
I like the idea of kuakuaqun.However，I think getting praise from strangers online isn't very useful in the long run.This is especially true when you are paying for the praise.These people don't know you，so the praise may not be earnest.Real and meaningful praise comes from the people you know.
With this in mind，we should try to praise our friends and family members when they need some encouragement.Simply saying to a classmate， 'I like you'，can lift his or her confidence.Being kind to others is easy.And it adds the necessary sweetness to make everyone's life better.

Not getting enough sleep is bad for health.Depending on the research from the scientists，people who don't get enough sleep are less willing to socialize （社交） with others.They are simply too tired to go out.
The researchers did a small study.They tested 18 young people who had good sleep after a sleepless night.The participantswatched videos of people with neural （中性的） expressions walking towards them.When the person on the video got too "close" to them，they pushed a button to stop the video.
The participants kept the person at a distance of 60% further if they hadn't got enough sleep.They felt that their personal space was being invaded （侵占） .But when the participants got a good night's sleep，they allowed the person to get much closer to them.
The result shows that the less sleep you get，the less you want to socialize with others.In turn，other people may think you are strange and stay away from you.So if you want to be a more sociable （喜欢与人交往的） and popular person，sleeping well might help.

What would you do if you had trouble seeing clearly？You would probably go to an eye doctor who might give you glasses.For many people around the world，however，such a way isn't that simple.
The World Health Organization reports that glasses can help one billion people in the world.Yet places like Ghana have only one eye doctor every 8 million people. Thismakes glasses almost impossible to get.Joshua Silver，a teacher at Oxford University，however，may have solved the problem.
Mr.Silver has developed liquid（液体）﹣filled glasses that users can adjust（调整） by themselves without seeing a doctor!The lenses（镜片） are filled with oil.Using a dial on the glasses，the user changes the amount of oil.This changes the strength（度数） of the lens.After the user finds the right strength，he then fixes the lens.
Results show that among those who have tried the glasses，around 80% are satisfied.Mr.Silver's goal is for everyone who still needs glasses to have such glasses as soon as possible.With a little more effort，Mr.Silver thinks that his goal might be achieved in the near future.
