For Art Lovers

We Are Water Protectors

Carole Lindstrom, illustrated (加插图) by Michaela Goade

Water is life! The Water Protectors at Standing Rock and beyond have been battling to defend Mother Earth’s sacred water to honor our ancestors, to provide for our peoples and for future generations. This picture book — seriously, it’s breathtaking — was written by Carole Lindstrom of the Turtle Mountain Band of Ojibwe and illustrated by Michaela Goade. (For ages 3 to 6)

All Because You Matter

Tami Charles, illustrated by Bryan Collier

From the matter of the universe to Black Lives Matter, this illustrated book pulls together the real universe to make it clear that its young readers are special beyond belief. Drawing inspiration from his own grandmother’s clothes-making, Bryan Collier pairs with Tami Charles to deliver an important message. (For ages 4 to 8)

Honeybee: The Busy Life of Apis Mellifera (意大利蜂)

Candace Fleming, illustrated by Eric Rohmann

A beautifully illustrated Apis mellifera presented in tasty oil paints cycles. Young readers get a front row seat to the natural world while vivid words introduce the anxiety leading to the bee’s first flight. Think each bee has just one job? Think again. Bees hold a variety of occupations during their short, lovely lives — and you thought you were busy! (For ages 6 to 9)

The Plain Janes

Cecil Castellucci and Jim Rugg

Cecil Castellucci and Jim Rugg’s children comic about four girl artists attracted readers when it was released in 2007. Now, in a reissue (再版) that includes the original tales along with a new story, Castellucci ages up her message. While the Janes’ lives have grown more complicated, Castellucci’s theme remains sincere and — in these trying times — something many of us struggle to keep in mind. (For ages 8 to 15)

The Indian government declared an “emergency situation” in New Delhi on Sunday as air pollution hit dangerous new highs and people had the selfies(自拍) to prove it.

Officials announced a series of measures to fight against smog in the capital city, including halting construction projects, closing a coal-fired power factory for 10 days and washing the dusty roads. The citizens，meanwhile，took “smog selfies” as they walked through dirty air which could taste and smell. Some selfie photographers joined hundreds of protesters in downtown New Delhi to demand that the government deal with the deadly smog.

New Delhi, already one of the world’s dirtiest cities, is experiencing its worst smog in nearly two decades. The city saw levels of PM2.5 of more than 900 micrograms per cubic meter on Saturday. That’s more than 90 times the level that the World Health Organization considers safe and is 15 times higher than the Indian government’s standards.

Particulate(微粒的) matter comes from vehicles, coal factories, burning trash piles, dust and other sources. New Delhi’s severe pollution was initially blamed on the widespread bursting of firecrackers during the festival Diwali. But images published by NASA last week suggested that crop burning in the neighboring states of Punjab and Haryana could be the reason for the increasing levels of PM2.5. New Delhi’s chief minister, Arvind Kejriwal, said that farmers in those states begin burning straw at the start of every winter to clear their plants for planting wheat.

The pollution can lead to lung cancer, heart disease and related illnesses, particularly in growing children. Kejriwal said people should avoid going outdoors until the pollution levels drop and should work at home as much as possible. Of course, they should put down the selfie sticks, too.

4．What does the underlined word “halting” in Paragraph 2 meap?

A．Stopping. B．Encouraging. C．Protecting. D．Changing.

5．What can we know from the text?

A．The poor condition in New Delhi has led to a strike.

B．New Delhi is one of the most polluted cities in the world.

C．A lot of people especially children died of smog in New Delhi.

D．Kejriwal suggested that people stop working to deal with smog.

6．What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?

A．Images of people living in New Delhi.

B．Levels of PM2.5 in most cities of India.

C．Sources of particulate matter in New Delhi.

D．Measures taken by the New Delhi government.

7．What’s Kejriwal’s attitude towards smog sefies?

A．Doubtful. B．Supportive. C．Uncaring. D．Opposed.

C

Trying to keep a healthy diet? Be sure to read our list of the top four fake health foods first!

Smoothies

They’re made with tons of fruit, so they must be healthy, right?

What most people don’t realize, however, is that these delicious and “healthy” drinks are full of sugar and can have more calories than a large meal! Many smoothies have more than just fruit. Some have ice-cream or yogurt. You’re really better off making your own smoothies at home with your own fresh fruit and low-fat yogurt!

Salad

So you and your friends have stopped at a fast-food restaurant for a quick bite. Since you’re a healthy person, you decide to get a salad. After all, it’s better than anything else there, right? Don’t be so sure. Salad toppings(浇料) such as bacon, cheese, and dressing can make your choice of a meal just as unhealthy as eating a double hamburger. Check the facts before you take a bite.

Cereal Bars

A cereal bar may appear to be a healthy snack. After all, the box has a photo of healthy people eating them on a hike. But don’t let the packaging fool you! Many cereal bars have as much sugar and fat as any candy bar. Read the ingredient (成分) list and make sure it’s healthy before you buy.

Sushi Rolls

Many people watching their weight prefer light sushi lunches and dinners, but be careful—there are some rolls that will influence your diet. Many have mayonnaise and deep-fried shrimp, both high in fat. When with soy sauce, sushi rolls become very high in salt.

This doesn’t mean you have to cut out this delicious Japanese food together, but you do have to be careful with your choices.

8．Salad is sometimes considered as a fake health food because ______.

A．salad is a kind of fast food

B．salad may have unhealthy toppings

C．salad may have ice-cream or yogurt

D．a salad is as large as a double hamburger

9．What can mislead you about cereal bars?

A．The packaging. B．The sugar and fat.

C．The calories and salt. D．The ingredient list.

10．What is the main idea of the article?

A．The best way to lose weight is to eat salad.

B．Many foods appear to be healthy but are not.

C．Hamburgers can make people put on weight.

D．Junk food is unhealthy and should be avoided.

11．The purpose of this passage is mainly to _______.

A．tell people how to keep healthy

B．suggest making food at home

C．tell people to choose food carefully

D．introduce different kinds of foods

D

Windmills(风车)dot the landscape, producing a renewable energy source. Our pioneer ancestors established windmills as a means of bringing water to the surface. To tell the truth, the history of wind energy is very long. Since early recorded history, people have been harnessing the energy of the wind. Wind energy drove boats along the Nile River as early as 5000 BC．By 200 BC, simple windmills in China were pumping water, while well-designed windmills were grinding (磨) grain in Persia and the Middle East.

New innovations and curiosity helped spread interest in windmills and wind power. Middle Eastern citizens used them for food production by the 11th century. Merchants along trade routes returned to Europe and shared the idea. Windmills caught on, especially in Holland, and the Dutch improved their use. Here, windmills drained lakes and other bodies of water. In France, the windmill pumped irrigation water. Elsewhere in Europe, windmills were used to grind grain.

By the 19th century, settlers in the United States realized the importance of the simple windmill. Pioneers pumped water for livestock (牲畜) and farming. As estimated six million windmills dotted America’s landscape by the end of the 1880s. Charles Brush, the US inventor, invented a windmill capable of producing electricity in 1888. And now the machines are called wind turbines. As late as the 1920s, Americans used small windmills to provide electricity in rural areas without electric service. When power lines began to transport electricity to rural areas in the 1930s, local windmills were used less and less, though they can still be seen on some Western farms.

In the 1970s, oil shortages pushed the development of alternative energy sources, paving the way for the re-entry of the windmill to produce electricity. In the early 1980s, wind energy really took off in California, partly because of State policies that encouraged renewable energy sources. In the 1990s, the push came from a renewed concern for the environment in response to scientific studies indicating potential changes to the global climate if the use of fossil fuels continues to increase. Wind energy is an economical power resource in many areas of the country.

Wind energy isn’t a new phenomenon,but using wind turbines to create and use electricity is a trend that continues to sweep across the globe.

12．The underlined word “harnessing” in Paragraph 1 is the closest in meaning to “_____________”.

A．having influence on

B．controlling and using

C．talking about and studying

D．showing interest in

13．As for the application of windmills, Europe    .

A．became well-known all over the world first

B．first began food production

C．increased trade activities with other places

D．followed the example of the Middle East

14．According to the passage, Charles Brush    .

A．created the first electricity-producing machine in the world

B．first used windmills in the US

C．was a pioneer in producing electricity from wind

D．improved the economic strength in rural areas of the US

15．What is the best title for the passage?

A．The importance of wind power

B．How does wind energy work?

C．The history of wind energy

D．When was wind power first used?

It was raining hard outside, that made it difficult for me to go home for lunch. Just as I was wondering what I should eat at noon, I saw a familiar figure passed by our classroom. I rushed out and it was my mother, who is already in her fifty, that brought me lunch, regardless the heavy rain. In China, many parents make great sacrifices for our children. But what had the children done in return? All too often, most children just take it for granted that their parents should serve for them unconditional.
