According to the finding of a new UN report, the world wastes about one sixth of the food each year. That’s about 1,030,000,000 tons, or 121 kilograms for each person on the Earth.
61% of the food waste is from home cooking. Food services, such as restaurants, produce 26% and groceries (食品杂货店) and other stores 13%. “We thought waste was a problem in rich countries,” says Martina Otto, who works for the UN Environment Program. “However, the new report finds, food waste is a big problem in nations rich and poor.”

In the past, I thought I was terrible at many things, such as math, French and science. Although I was good at drawing, I wasn't the best in my art class. I wanted to find out who I was, what I liked and how I could do it better. So, that winter, I took a notebook and kept my diary. When I filled that notebook. I started another one, and then another.
Keeping a diary helps a lot. Studies have shown that people who keep a diary sleep and feel better. It helps people remember what once happened such as dreams, friendships and happiness. Writing about bad feelings can also help brains get over them and move on. Personally, I learn better about myself and my relationships with others by keeping a diary. For example, when I am fighting with my dad, I'll try writing from his point and it works! If I want to compare myself with my classmates. I'll write something like, "I might not have clear skin, but I like my eyes.”
Right about now, you might be thinking: it sounds great, but I'm not a good writer; or I'd love to keep a diary, but my handwriting is terrible. Don’t worry! Keeping a diary is not like doing your homework —there are no rules, so do whatever feels best.

A team of scientists are carrying out a project at the University of Greenwich in London. They are trying to find ways to make food on Mars (火星) in the future. The project is called Feeding Mars. It tries to use water, fish and fish waste to grow fruit and vegetables on Mars.
It would take at least 21 months to reach Mars, learn about its surface and return to Earth. So it would be a big help if the spacemen could grow fresh food on Mars itself.
Farming on Mars, however, will be very hard. There’s plenty of water that could be taken from ice just below the surface, but the land on Mars is missing the nutrients (养分) that living things need. The team say that they could solve the problem by growing plants and fish together. Fish waste can then be used to provide nutrients for plants.
“It is expected that you can grow lots of food, such as vegetables, salads, teas and medicinal plants on Mars,” said Dr Benz Kotzen, who leads the project. “You can even harvest (捕获) fish for food then.”
47．What does the underlined word “It” in Paragraph 1 refer to (指的是)?
A．The future. B．The project. C．The land. D．The planet.
48．What makes it difficult to farm on Mars?
A．Ice below the surface. B．Too much fish waste.
C．The missing of living things. D．The poor land condition.

The local people of La Gomera can carry on conversations by whistling(吹口哨) from far away. For face-to-face conversations, they speak Spanish. But when they need to speak over a distance(距离), they whistle.
La Gomera is a small island. This island is almost shaped like a circle. It is very mountainous. Walking from one place to another may be a slow and difficult job. That is why whistling is so useful to the local people. A message can easily be whistled over a couple of miles, while to travel that same distance on foot might take an hour.
A good whistler can be heard and understood five miles away. His whistling can be farther away when it is windless. It is said that the record is about nine miles. Anyone who has heard a top whistler will agree that this record is quite possible.
A whistle travels farther than a shout, and is easier to understand. When a person shouts, he cannot pronounce his words well. But if a whistle is heard, it will be heard clearly.
Whistling is popular at La Gomera, and many methods of whistling are used …

Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you, and self-driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves? Although it might sound a lttle far from you, living in a "smart" city like this could happen sooner than you think.
Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a "telepresence system(远程遥控系统)-- allowing users to control the heating and locks, take part in video meetings, and receive education, health care and government services. Around the city, escalators ( 自动扶梯 ) will only move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be connected to the system.
The great mind behind Songdo is from the company Cisco. In fact, technology companies around the world such as IBM, Siemens and Microsoft are already in the business.
   About 75% of the world's population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be more modern to deal with the coming problems. Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener, said Dan Hill, head of a research company.

The night sky is our earliest library. There, we stored our knowledge, and passed it down around the fire, before we invented the written word.
I remember going to the local university for an astronomy (天文学) night when I was a child. That night, I saw Saturn, one of the planets, and its rings with my own eyes for the first time. The rings shone bright against the blackness of space and suddenly the universe (宇宙) wasn’t something that you only read about or imagined in your head. It was right there, and you were a part of it. That moment is priceless.
While starlight is good, light pollution here on Earth can be a real problem. For the past 200 years or so, we have used too much electricity (电) to make the night brighter. However, brighter doesn’t usually mean better, especially when a lot of that light shines up into the sky where no one needs it.
Luckily, some cities have taken actions, like setting up new downward-directing lights along the streets. I hope that more cities will join in and continue the practice of controlling unnecessary lighting, so that more of us can watch the night sky in a way humans have for thousands of years.
50．What is the night sky compared to?
A．A book. B．The earth. C．A library. D．The universe.
51．How did the writer find the astronomy night?
A．It opened his eyes. B．It controlled his mind.
C．It was a real problem. D．It took him too much time.
52．What does the writer hope for?
A．A brighter night. B．Less use of lighting.
C．More personal space. D．A better education.

The world uses about a thousand million (百万) tons of water a day. Water is a human right and everyone should have their share. Yet more than 700 million people around the world have trouble getting clean, safe water.
Treating wastewater is a good way to provide fresh water for us. And it also helps the environment by keeping waste out of rivers and oceans. 80% of wastewater around the world is not treated at all, and it is running into oceans. But now we have got the technology to treat and reuse the wastewater.
While 75% of our planet is covered with water, only about 2% is fresh water—that comes from rivers, lakes, ice and snow. The rest, 98% of the water, is in seas and oceans. It is too salty to drink. Then desalination businesses come in. More than 19,000 factories have been built around the world, mostly in coastal countries. They process (加工) more than 92 million tons of water every day. But the technology they use requires a lot of energy.
Scientists are working to create a less costly technology. They want to produce 20 times more clean water and make sure everyone has enough. But for now, the world still faces each day with not having enough water for everyone.
43．How many people have trouble in getting clean water around the world?
A．Under 10 million. B．Only 19 million.
C．About 92 million. D．Over 700 million.
44．Treating wastewater helps the environment by _____.
A．storing waste in ice and snow B．letting waste run into oceans
C．keeping waste out of rivers and oceans D．sending waste to coastal countries
45．What does the underlined word "desalination" in Paragraph 3 mean?
A．远洋运输 B．潮汐发电 C．食盐销售 D．海水淡化
46．At present, the technology to process water_____.

C．satisfies everyone D．causes pollution
47．What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A．Water should be a human right. B．The water problem is still serious.
C．Our planet is covered with water. D．Everyone has enough clean water.

Have you tried to run or walk for exercise and then given up? If you answered yes, you should try a new kind of exercise: aquatic (水中的) exercise. Aquatic exercise is like exercise on land, but you do it in a swimming pool. More and more people are trying aquatic exercise.
Aquatic exercise feels easier than exercising on land. Why? You weigh about 90% less in the pool. It is better for your knees than running or walking. Water is about 1, 000 times thicker and heavier than air. To move through the water, your body has to work four times as hard. As a result, you can burn more calories (卡路里).
In fact, most people say they feel more relaxed in the water. They stop thinking about the things that make them worried. They feel in control of their bodies. The cool, quiet environment makes them feel good.
But what if you are afraid of the water? No problem! There is nothing to worry about. Aquatic exercise is safe and easy to learn. It doesn't require any special skills. You don't even need to know how to swim. Aquatic exercise is for everyone.

Do you still remember the lecture from China’s Tiangong space station last year? On March 23, astronauts Zhai Zhigang, Wang Yaping and Ye Guangfu gave another one! What fun things did they do this time?
A bridge of water     
How do you build a “bridge” with water? It’s hard to do it on Earth. But in the space station, with little gravity（重力）, it’s quite easy!
In the lecture, Wang Yaping first made two water balls on two plates, then let them touch each other. Next, Wang pulled the two plates apart, and the water between them didn’t break. It became a “bridge”! This is because the surface tension （表面张力） of water is not disturbed （干扰） by gravity in space. The surface tension keeps the “skin” of the water strong so that the bridge doesn’t break.
Separate water and oil
If we mix oil and water in a bottle on Earth, they will quickly separate because they have different densities（密度）. Gravity brings the water down while the oil stays on top. However, if you do this in the space station, with no gravity, the oil and the water will stay together.
How can we separate them, then? In the lecture, Ye Guangfu rotated（旋转） the bottle to create centrifugal force（离心力）. With this man-made gravity, the heavier water is pushed to the furthest point, which brings the lighter oil closer to the center.
15．How many steps did Wang do to make a bridge of water?
A．One. B．Two. C．Three. D．Four.
16．Why will oil and water quickly separate on Earth?
A．Because of thin air on Earth. B．Because of no gravity on Earth.
C．Because of strong people on Earth. D．Because of different densities and gravity.
17．What did Ye do to separate oil and water?
A．He rotated the bottle. B．He pushed oil to the center.
C．He created different densities. D．He threw water to the furthest point.

In our everyday life, we take many things for granted. Being able to see is one of them. However, not everyone in the world has good vision(视力).
The World Health Organization(WHO) has released its World Report on Vision. It says that 65 million people could get their vision back with a cataract(白内障) operation, but cannot get one because they have little or no healthcare where they live. In addition, over 800 million people have trouble doing everyday activities because they don’t have enough money to buy a pair of glasses.
For example, there are thousands of nearsighted African drivers who have difficulty seeing people walking across the road. This makes it dangerous for them to drive. And there are coffee farmers in Bolivia who find it hard to see their ripe(成熟的) beans because of cataracts. This means they can’t harvest(收获) as many beans.
This is mainly a problem in low-income countries, such as western and eastern sub-Saharan Africa, according to the report. A lack of eye care services is one of the main reasons for this.
In southern Asia and other places around the world, there are still cultural barriers(隔阂) when trying to get glasses. In some places, people believe wearing glasses will make one’s eyes worse. In other places, when kids start wearing glasses, their grandparents will say they are for rich people and not for village boys or girls, Public Radio international reported. These beliefs and attitudes must change before more kids can get glasses and improve their vision.
25．The WHO recently released a report about ______ around the world.
A．cataract operations B．vision problems C．eye care services D．types of glasses
26．The examples of African drivers and Bolivian farmers show that ______.
A．people with cataracts will go blind B．there is no eye care in African countries
C．too much work can cause vision problems D．people with poor vision face many difficulties
27．In southern Asia, people still have problems getting glasses because ______.
A．wearing glasses makes them look ugly B．only rich people can afford to buy glasses
C．wearing glasses can make their eyes worse D．wearing glasses goes against their cultural beliefs
28．What is the best title for the text?
A．Can We Stop Blindness? B．What Causes Low-income?

Social media is certainly an interesting place to learn others’ opinions. You can read everything from strange ideas to true facts and everything in between. But when you’re spending time online and reading so many opinions, it’s quite possible that you’ll sometimes see someone write something that you strongly disagree with.
In fact, you might feel so strongly that you feel like you should reply to this person at once. You might do some research, find some facts of your own and reply to what they have written. You finish writing out your reply, click “Post” and win the argument!
Except that it’s not really much of a victory. Most people don’t like it when other people disagree with their ideas, especially online strangers. It’s unlikely that they will change their opinion just because you argued with them. In fact, it’s possible that you made them feel more confident that they’re correct.
And the thing is, when you get into these kinds of fights online, it slowly influences you. You might not know it at first, but the argument that you take part in can actually have a bad effect on your mood. If you argue often, you start to enjoy arguing and then end up doing it even more. It’s a dangerous cycle.
I guess the best thing to do is to tell yourself that most arguments aren’t worth it. There are much better and more interesting things to do, whether online or in real life.
32．How does the writer feel about social media?
A．People rarely(很少地) use it to argue. B．Many people use it to voice their opinions.
C．You can’t know other people’s real ideas. D．It is a good way to connect with strangers.
33．What does the writer tell us in Paragraph 3?
A．It’s easy to win arguments online.
B．Arguments can change people’s minds.
C．Disagreeing with someone won’t change their mind.
D．People who post their ideas on social media are usually incorrect.
34．What is the writer’s advice?
A．Argue until you find the truth.
B．Don’t discuss problems with strangers.
C．Try to communicate in real life instead of online.
D．Find something better to do instead of arguing.

Ants
Ants don’t have ears. But that doesn’t mean they are deaf (聋的). They hear by feeling vibrations (震动) in the ground. Ants have special sensors (传感器) on their feet and legs to sense signals from their surroundings.
Emus 鸸鹋
Emus can walk forward but not backward. It is not clear why this bird cannot walk backward. Many have suggested that its knee joint (关节) prevents it from moving backward.
Birds
Did you know this?Birds can’t be brought into outer space because birds need gravity (重力) to swallow (吞咽) food. NASA did an experiment with a bird in space. After the spaceship reached orbit (轨道), the bird did not eat anything. It also had some balancing problems.
chinchillas 毛丝鼠
Water is one of the deadliest enemies (死敌) of chinchillas. Chinchillas should not get wet because they have very dense (浓密的) fur that is extremely difficult to dry, causing a risk of fungus (真菌) and bacterial (细菌) infection, which can in turn, create a bigger problem for their skin.

Ever since the 19th century, people’s search for ways of producing electricity has never stopped. Now a UK company has developed a special floor. There is a system in the floor that can produce electricity very cheaply using the energy from footsteps. That is to say, every time people step on this floor, electricity is produced.
The designer of the floor came up with the idea when he was a student and worked in an energy company. The company asked him to find ways to power up street lights in the city center using the energy from the sun, but it soon became clear that this might not work because many city centers don’t get enough sunlight because of tall buildings. Then he thought of a better plan. Why not use the energy produced by people who walk past the street instead?
The floor could be very efficient（高效能的）. This is especially true when it is used in very busy areas. And the reason is that a lot of energy is produced simply because of large numbers of people walking on the floor.
The company also says it tries to find a way for people to further their understanding of problems, such as climate change and sustainability（可持续性）.
42．What is special about the floor?
A．It can be used in many busy areas in cities.
B．It depends on sunlight to produce electricity.
C．It can provide information about people who walk on it.
D．It produces electricity with the energy from footsteps.
43．What makes most city centers fail to get enough sunlight?
A．The busy traffic. B．The tall buildings. C．The weather. D．The ground.
44．What can we infer from the text?

B．The use of the floor may help solve the problem of climate change.
C．The more people walk on the floor, the more electricity can be produced.
D．The system using the energy from footsteps to produce electricity costs a lot.

How often do you eat takeout (外卖食品)? Maybe most of you would answer, “Every day!” Nowadays, people are too busy to prepare food themselves. Some people don’t know how to cook and others also want to have something new. Besides, eating takeout is easy because all you need to have is a smartphone. But here is an interesting question: Did people eat takeout in ancient times?
In fact, there was takeout as far back as Song Dynasty. Emperor Xiaozong (孝宗皇帝) liked to order takeout late at night. His servants then went around the city to pick up the dishes and brought them back to the palace.
Common people also ordered takeout. Restaurant waiters would go out into the street and shout out which dishes could be ordered that day. People could then place an order. Later, waiters would bring food to their home. People at that time even had the special meal box for takeout dishes. It was a long wooden box with several layers (层). People put hot water between the layers to keep dishes warm.
Now, having takeout is popular and convenient but it also leads to health and environment problems. What do you think of it?

Are you emotional(感情用事)? Do you often have strong feelings? How do you deal with bad emotions?
We feel angry or guilty about the things we did or did not achieve, about the things we cannot have, and many other things. It seems that everyone carries their own bad emotions. But neither guilt nor anger can help us. Over time, they can be heavy weights on our shoulders.
These bad emotions don’t do anything good for us at all. So you might ask yourself: is it possible to put down this heavy burden(负担) and give yourself a break? It is quite possible. Start by actually looking at your feelings. How do they get inside of us? Why do we carry them for so long instead of putting them down? Can we live without them?
By thinking about our bad emotions, we can find healthy ways to deal with them. Unhealthy behaviors are not the way to do this. They provide no relief(解脱). Instead, there are better ways to handle(处理) them. One of the best ways is forgiveness(原谅). By forgiving ourselves and others, we can abandon our burdens and feel better about ourselves. The moment you do this, you’ll be much happier with your life.
48．What is the first step to put down the heavy burden of bad emotions?
A．Asking others some questions. B．Looking at your feelings.
C．Trying to live without them. D．Finding ways to deal with them.

Do you have a brother or sister? Do you have to share a bedroom with him or her? In fact, sharing a bedroom may influence your relationships.
Sharing a bedroom with your brother or sister has good sides. For one, it helps you get a good night’s sleep. If you’re afraid of the dark, you’ll fall asleep more easily with someone else in the room. The same is true if you don’t like being alone. For another, you can develop many important skills. You learn how to give and take so that nobody gets selfish. You also learn how to solve your own problems. These skills can help you create a peaceful environment and a better relationship with your brother or sister.
However, sharing a bedroom with your brother or sister has bad sides. It may influence your sleep. If you’re a light sleeper, the noises he or she makes may keep you awake. The same thing happens if he or she can’t sleep without a night light on. Also, when you share a room, you don’t have your own space because there is always someone else here. You may feel uncomfortable when being alone. What’s worse, you also cannot learn to be independent.
As you can see, there are both good and bad sides about sharing a bedroom. So, talk with your family to see which way works better for you and your brother or sister!
55．What may keep you awake if you are a light sleeper?
A．Enough personal space. B．A bright night light.

British people are good at waiting, especially in a line. In the UK, it’s common to see lines everywhere.
Waiting in line in the UK isn’t simply about showing politeness. British people like everything to be in perfect order, so being rude（粗鲁）like pushing the way ahead of someone in a line is something that most British try to avoid.
Actually, the tradition started during the World War Ⅱ. At that time, people had to wait in line to get things like food in shops. The government was worried that trouble and disorder would occur. So people were told to wait in line politely and patiently. And that message is still alive today.
There is probably only one thing that will influence British people’s habit—the weather. One minute it can be sunny and the next it can be wet and windy. When the weather is bad, people only hope the bus can arrive very soon, or people in front of them waiting for the food will give up and leave. If someone decides not to follow the rule in bad weather, most Brits will warn him.
Waiting in line can be fun if the weather is good. Although people are waiting, they may be excited about the thing they’re waiting for, for example, a pop concert. The excitement can make waiting for something a very enjoyable experience.
59．British people have the habit of ________ according to Paragraph 2.
A．showing rudeness to people around them B．pushing the way ahead of someone in a line

Have you ever noticed the paper you use in your life? Do you really know it? Paper, as one of the four great inventions of our country, can be seen everywhere in our life. Although it is very common, it can always play an important role when we need it. The invention of paper greatly helped develop and spread Chinese traditional culture, which made paper so important.
Paper was an important invention in ancient China. Writing developed slowly from ancient times when people mainly depended on writing instruments like ropes. At first, oracle bone (甲骨) was used as writing material (材料). Bamboo and wood were also discovered and used during the Spring and Autumn Period. But bamboo pieces were not a good choice because they were too heavy, so paper was produced. Thanks to the invention and popularization of paper, people could no longer use stone, wood or other materials to record writings or pictures, and so much ancient information was saved and spread.
Paper is quite helpful in our life today. It is the carrier of writing and printing. For example, painters use it to describe the beauty of the world, writers use it to tell the warmth of the world, and educators use it to spread knowledge. Of course, it can also be used for other purposes. It is also used for packing (包装) things like gifts.
This is paper. It plays a very important role in our life, but still, there are many people who waste paper now ...

When you help someone, there is only one person who is doing something good. But if you share it, there may be more people joining you, and then more people will be helped.
15 years ago, I was the founder（创立者）of One Warm Coat. One day when I listened to a radio interview, I heard a story: a woman from a far place carried ten winter coats to give them away at the One Warm Coat drop-off place. Having known there were many homeless people in the city,she thought her coats may make a difference between cold and comfort（舒适）for ten people that winter. She said it was so tiring for an old woman to travel so far. But if it could help even one person, it was great worth it.
Her words made me moved. Then I realized if there were more drop-off places, more people would be able to give their things away. So I started my plan of setting up more drop-off places. One Warm Coat is developing quickly and it gets over 4 million coats across the country every year. As the founder, I always feel proud and satisfied.

As a child, what did you want to be when you grow up? If you were like most children, you probably let your imagination run wild. Maybe you dreamed of flying into space or being a famous cook. Then perhaps over the years, your dreams became more realistic. Or you might have given up some.
It’s important to have dreams because dreams can give us energy to succeed in life. Dreams inspire us. They might take a few years or they might take a lifetime to achieve. The important thing is that you’re always working for your dream. And the best way to do that is by setting goals.
What is the difference between a dream and a goal? It’s been said that dreams are the final destination; goals are the stops along the way. Your dreams mean what you want, but goals tell how you will get there. That makes goal setting a necessary step in reaching your dreams.
If you’ve been dreaming about doing something for years, start today. Write down your dream and set your goals. Then you’ll be on your way to make your dreams come true.

Paper cutting can be seen in many parts of China during the Spring Festival. People put paper-cuts on the windows, doors or desks for the festival.
It’s difficult to tell when it originated (起源). The ancient people cut papers into animals or people. They either buried them with the dead or burned them, wishing that things the paper-cuts stand for could be with the dead. A thousand years ago, paper-cuts were used for decoration (装饰). They were often seen on windows, doors or walls. Some people made a living with the skill.
Paper cutting was usually made by hand in ancient times. It is easy to learn. We need only paper and a pair of scissors.
Paper cutting covers nearly all topics, from flowers, birds, animals, characters in novels, to kinds of facial make-up (脸谱) in Peking opera. Paper cutting has all kinds of styles in different parts of China.
In the past, women living in the countryside got together in their free time to make paper cutting, which was a way to tell if they had skills. As society develops, fewer and fewer people learn this skill. At present, there are factories and companies for paper cutting in China. Exhibitions and exchanges are often held.

“Okay,” Socrates continued, “There’s one filter left—the filter of usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my friend going to be useful to me? ”

When a person is experiencing stress (压力), he can feel worried. Feeling stressed is a common part of life. One way to ease (缓解) stress is making art.
Maybe you already paint for much fun. It is never too late to start. Anyone can make art if you can hold a brush or crayon.
Making art has something to do with your body. When you paint, your breathing slows. As you pay attention to your artwork, you will stop thinking about the stressful things of the day. Making art can even give you energy.
Making art is not just about relaxing yourself, it can also help you to clear your mind and make your spirit fresh. As the famous artist Pablo Picasso once said, “Art washes the dust of everyday life from the mind.”
Art can help you understand your own feelings. Through painting, you can tell feelings or ideas, which are hard to put into words.
If you do not know how to begin, here are some ways to start making art. First, without thinking about it carefully, choose colors that you like and start painting with them. Try not to think about shapes. Instead, just enjoy the colors. Second, carry a notebook with you. Try to paint a little each day. Painting what you see will help you to feel connected to the things around you, such as your living environment.
