Afternoon Tea
The warm weather outside may look perfect for outdoor exercise． But for those who are not that sporty， what could be nicer than having a relaxing afternoon tea with a few good friends and taking a break from studying？
The concept （概念） of "afternoon tea" first appeared in the UK in the mid﹣19th century． It was introduced in England by Anna Maria Russell， the seventh Duchess of Bedford． The evening meal in her household was normally served fashionably late at 8 p．m．， but she felt hungry at 4 p．m． every day， so she started asking for a tea tray with butter， bread and cakes at that time． Several days later， she found her new habit difficult to break and soon invited her friends to join her． This pause （间歇） for tea quickly became a fashionable social event． During the 1880s，upper class and society women would even change into long dress， gloves and hats for their afternoon tea．
Traditional afternoon tea is a small meal which is normally served from 4 p．m． to 6 p．m． once a day． It uses a three﹣tiered serving tray． The trays carry a variety of foods， such as finger sandwiches， freshly baked scones served with cream and fruit jam， cakes and pastries． Of course， tea or coffee， served with milk and sugar， is also provided．
Traditional afternoon tea is a dainty （讲究的） meal． Therefore， the order of enjoying the food is from the bottom to the top and from salty to sweet． Sandwiches are eaten first， followed by scones， then the sweet snacks like cakes and pastries． When drinking the tea， they taste slowly rather than "glugging" it down． It's also a social activity． As you can see the scene in the TV play "Downton Abbey"， ladies wear pretty clothing， men are dressed neatly and the waiters are well trained and polite．
Nowadays， you can enjoy a traditional fancy afternoon tea in many restaurants and hotels． It is also enjoyed to celebrate a special event such as a birthday， a pre﹣ wedding or baby shower party with a group of friends． So far， afternoon tea activities have become far beyond friends getting together and eating． It has been a part of the traditional culture as well as a fashion for British．
（1）Who introduced "afternoon tea" in England？
（2）What did the upper class ladies wear during the 1880s？
（3）When is traditional afternoon tea served？
（4）What is the fourth paragraph mainly about？
（5）Why is afternoon tea popular for British all the time？
Recent years have witnessed the returning of bikes across China． An increasing number of people choose cycling instead of driving to school， to workplaces or to do sightseeing． Bike﹣sharing plans are warmly welcomed in many． cities． Mobike had 5.85million active users while Ofo had 1.4million in the first week of this year．
People can unlock the shared bikes by simply using their smartphones． All bikes have GPS and can be left anywhere in public for the next user． They're popular among many Chinese people
because they help solve "last﹣mile" problems in cities． For example， many people find it difficult to get to the hotel when they get off trains or to travel around the city．
However， the plans have also led to problems such as illegal（非法的） parking， vandalism （故意破坏） and theft． In February， two nurses in Beijing were placed under administrative detention（行政拘留） for five days for putting locks on two shared bikes．
In fact， these problems are also shared by bike﹣sharing plans abroad． Started in 2007， V6lib is the largest public bike sharing system in Paris． At its early period， it also met with problems of vandalism or theft． To deal with these problems， the company came up with the idea of encouraging people to return the bikes to stations by rewarding free time for their next rides．
Now， Chinese service Organizations are also trying to deal with these problems． For example， Mobike sets a 100﹣point credit score（信用分数） for each user， but the points will be taken because of his or her bad behavior． Once a score drops below 80， bike rental（租金） will be increased from 1yuan to 100yuan per 30minutes．
回答下面5个问题，每题答案不超过6个词
46．What do many people choose to go to school or work instead of driving？
47．How do people unlock the shared bikes？
48．Why are the shared bikes popular in cities？
49．What reward will people get if they return V6lib bikes to stations？
50．According to Mobike， how will a rider be punished if his or her credit score drops below 80？
Shopping online is quite common today． Many people have been used to shopping through the Internet． They love to surf the websites like Jingdong or Taobao， because they think it saves them a lot of time and money and they can buy things at home instead of going to the shop．Smart phones make it convenient to go shopping online．
Both men and women take a great interest in shopping online． However，it's interesting that shopping online isn't the same for men as it is for women． Men go shopping because they need something． Most of them simply know what they want． They can decide what to buy before shopping． For women， it's different． Most of them go shopping not because they need something． They just go to "have a look around"． They want to enjoy the pleasure of shopping．
With the development of the WeChat （微信），selling things online today is a symbol of fashion． More and more people begin to sell things on WeChat． They almost sell everything． Farmers sell fruits and vegetables they plant． Fishermen sell seafood they have caught． Have you imagined being a seller online in the near future？
（1）How do many people like to go shopping nowadays？
（2）Who are clear about what to buy before shopping？
（3）What's the purpose for women to go shopping online？
（4）What makes selling online become a symbol of fashion？
（5）Will selling online be more popular in the future？

"They'll never know" was my second thought，and I walked past them．"Peter，have you seen two silver coins？"asked Mary． Susy looked up from digging． Her eyes were hopeful．
"Tell a lie" was my third thought．"As a matter of fact，"I hesitated（犹豫），"I dug two coins out of that snow bank just a few days ago． I wondered who might have lost them．"Susy hugged me with a big smile，"Oh，thank you，thank you．"

Many have heard of shark fin soup．This famous and expensive dish is especially popular in southern China．But do you realize that you're killing a whole shark each time you enjoy a bowl of shark fin soup？
When people catch sharks，they cut off their fins and throw the sharks back into the ocean．This is not only cruel， but also harmful to the environment．Without a fin， a shark can no longer swim and slowly dies．Sharks are at the top of the food chain in the ocean's ecosystem．If their numbers drop too low， it will bring danger to all ocean life． Many believe that sharks can never be endangered because they are the strongest in their food chain．But in fact， around 70 million sharks are caught and traded in this industry every year．The numbers of some kinds of sharks have fallen by over 90 percent in the last 20 to 30 years．
Environmental protection groups around the world，such as WildAid and the WWF， are teaching the public about"finning"． They have even asked governments to develop laws to stop the sale of shark fins．So far，no scientific studies have shown that shark's fins are good for health，so why eat them？ Help save the sharks!

In 1988，Wang Chengbang retired（退休）from the army.Instead of enjoying a relaxing life，he volunteered to save the soil from desertification（沙漠化）by planting trees in Korla，Xinjiang.

But Wang Chengbang would not give up."After trying many different ways，I have learned how to grow young trees in a better way，" said Wang Chengbang.He also worked out new ways to save water.With his hard work，more and more trees have survived.So far，he has planted more than 1.5 million trees.Those green trees prevent desertification，make the air cleaner and protect people from the hot sun.Now，Korla is a model city in environmental protection.
Wang Chengbang is also successful in fighting cancer（癌症）.In 2005，he had cancer and was told that he had only six months to live.However，he continued taking care of his trees rather than lying on the hospital bed."Working is the best medicine.Planting trees helps to fight cancer，" he often jokes.

To the Editor，
I am writing as a member of One﹣on﹣One，the sixth﹣grade mentoring （指导） group．Our group is two years old and made up of 14 students．Our task is to help students reach their goals through mentoring．We hope the readers of this school newspaper will join our group． This is my first year as a mentor，but I have already learned that everyone taking part in mentoring gets something out of it．
I was assigned （分配） to a mentor last year． Mentoring was one of the best things that happened to me． I was able to turn the corner at an important point in my studies， going from nearly failing math to passing it． It still amazes me that I completely changed from almost hating math to loving it! Would you believe I'm even thinking of studying math in college？ Even if I don't， I have skills that I will use for the rest of my life． My own experience made me feel certain of becoming a mentor this year and helping other students like myself． Now that I am a mentor， I realize what a good feeling you get from helping someone else and knowing that you' re making a difference in his or her life．In many situations，lasting friendships are made as well． My mentor and I hit it off right away．And we're still good friends today．
Becoming a mentor is a serious commitment（承诺）．Mentors spend one hour every week with the student they are mentoring．Considering your responsibilities，it may be difficult to add another commitment to your schedule．But I hope you will at least consider the possibility．
Thank you for considering our invitation． We look forward to hearing from you．
Sincerely，
Mark Lopez
