1．Lack of airflow in your home can cause indoor air pollution and worsen health issues.Your furniture，the materials in your walls and your carpet can hold poisons，Before buying an expensive air cleaner，you'd better try out a few houseplants first 一they're much cheaper and look a lot nicer.
Snake Plant
Perfect for your bedroom，this plant is unique in its ability to give off oxygen at night.Snake plants are also able to produce enough oxygen in an air-sealed room for people to breathe normally.It's one of the best plants for filtering（過濾）some harmful gases.Water it once a week，being sure to let the soil dry in- between waterings，and keep it by a window.
Peace Lily
If you're somebody that loves flowers in the house，this is a great option for you.A peace lily produces fragrant flowers all summer long，and effectively removes formaldehyde（甲醛）from the air.It grows best in shady areas and with the soil kept damp.Be careful though，as this plant can be poisonous if eaten by children or pets.
Bamboo Palm
This fast growing houseplant looks splendid and is safe for children and pets.It will add damp to the air in the dry winter months and remove indoor air pollutants.It grows well in indirect sunlight away from any cold drafts.Take care of it by keeping the soil wet and misting ts leaves.
Red Edged Dracaena
This drought tolerant plant is good for beginners.It grows well in sunlight.Wipe the underside of the leaves regularly with a damp cloth to make sure it can properly filter your air.Place it in a semi-shaded area and mist the soil with room-temperature water.Careful，it's not pet-friendly.

2．Nalini Nadkarni didn't play with Barbies as a girl.She was too busy climbing the maple trees in her front yard in Bethesda.
"When I was growing up in Bethesda，we tried to live simply." Nadkarni，a University of Utah biology professor who studies rainforest canopies （樹冠層）said. "And a Barbie didn't quite fit in with living a simple life." Instead，said Nadkarni，she and her sisters were encouraged by their parents to create their own fun.For Nadkarni，that meant tree climbing.
Nadkarni is doing research in Costa Rica on trees.It has never been more important.Nadkarni said，to share what she has learned with a new generation.
"In 2003，I'd been thinking of ways to help get girls more interested in science，and I looked to my young daughter.I knew that girls wanted to play with Barbies and look like Barbies." Nadkarni said. "But what if Barbie had field clothes on and came with a little booklet about canopy pants？" Mattel，the company that makes Barbies，wasn't interested in her idea，but she persisted.She finally created her own treetop dolls.Mattel agreed that she could produce the dolls on a small scale （規(guī)模）.
Last year，Nadkarni was thrilled to learn that National Geographic was working with Mattel to come up with a new line of adventure dolls，and that they wanted her advice.
Since sales of the explorer Barbies began in the summer，Nadkarni said，she has heard from girls coast to coast，thanking her for her work in rainforests and asking questions about how they can make a difference to help trees in their own communities.
"When I started hearing from these young kids，I realized they truly understood the terrible situation our forests were in，" she said. "They really care，and they want us grown-ups to do something to save our environment.I love climbing trees and learning all I can about them.But getting children excited about protecting our forests is one of the most important things I do."

A．She found joy in climbing trees.
B．She used to play with Barbies.
C．Her parents were strict with her.
D．She was asked to behave like a boy.
（2）Why did Nadkarni want to work with Mattel？

3．When you're feeling low or even a little depressed，what do you want to do？The answer for most of us is not very much.Our natural response to a bad mood is to rest with our comfort of choice and hibernate（蟄伏）a bit.
But according to new science，the best way to fight off the depression is to force yourself to get out there and do something new.You might have to drag yourself off the sofa，but this research shows you'll be happier for the effort.
For the study，the researchers followed the daily movements of 122 study subjects，using the location-tracking features of their phones for three to four months.They also sent subjects regular text messages asking them to report on their mood.
The scientists discovered the more people visited new and different locations，the happier they felt both that day and the next.Variety and novelty（新穎）seem to lift our mood. "We also find that if we feel better today，we're likely to move around and have more novel experiences and have more experiential diversity the following day，" study coauthor and NYU psychology professor Catherine Hartley said.
"These results suggest a reciprocal link between the novel and diverse experiences we have during our daily exploration of our physical environments and our subjective sense of well-being，" Hartley commented.
This isn't the first time science has linked new experiences with positive brain benefits.Previous studies have shown that new and challenging experiences light up learning centers in the brain.Just as experience has probably taught you，you learn a lot faster when you get outside your comfort zone.If you've been stuck at home a lot lately，it's no shock that you feel lazy.Your brain is missing out on the novelty and exploration it desires.The good news is，if you can force yourself to do something new，you'll feel you can grow smarter.
（1）According to new science，what should we do to lift our spirits？
A．Explore the outside world.
B．Have a complete rest.
C．Choose to enjoy our hobbies.
D．Stay in the comfort zone.
（2）How did the researchers conduct the study？
A．By phoning the subjects.
B．By analyzing the subject's locations.
C．By referring to previous relevant studies.
D．By tracking the subjects' movements and moods.
（3）"A reciprocal link" in Paragraph 5 means a link that proves.
A．strong but temporary.
B．weak and indirect.
C．beneficial to each other.
D．suitable for each other.
（4）What does the last paragraph mainly talk about？
A．Novelty improves learning effectiveness.
B．It's harmful to get stuck at home too long.
C．Your brain desires novelty and exploration.
D．Exploration is linked with positive emotions.組卷：3引用：1難度：0.5 -
4．In bringing up children，every parent watches eagerly the child's acquisition of each new skill-- the first spoken words，the first independent steps，or the beginning of reading and wrjye.aiing.It is often tempting to hurry the child beyond his natural learning rate，but this can set up dangerous feelings of failure and states of worry in the child.This might happen at any stage.A baby might be forced to use a toilet too early.A young child might be encouraged to learn to read before he knows the meaning of the words he reads.On the other hand，though，if a child is left alone too much，or without any learning opportunities，he loses his natural enthusiasm for life and his desire to find out new things for himself.
Parents vary greatly in their degree of strictness towards their children.Some may be especially strict in money matters.Others are severe over time of coming home at night or punctuality for meals.In general，the controls represent the needs of the parents and the values of the community as much as the child's own happiness.
As regards the development of moral standards in the growing child，consistency is very essential in parental teaching.To forbid a thing one day and excuse it the next is no foundation for morality.Also，parents should realize that "example is better than precept".If they are not sincere and do not practice what they say，their children may grow confused and emotionally insecure when they grow old enough to think for themselves，and realize they have been to some extent fooled.
A sudden awareness of an obvious difference between their parents' principles and their morals can be a dangerous disappointment.
（1）In the process of children's learning new skills parents.
A．should encourage them to read before they know the meaning of the words they read
B．should not expect too much of them
C．should achieve a balance between pushing them too hard and leaving them on their own
D．should create as many learning opportunities as possible
（2）The word "precept" （Line3，Para.3）probably means "".
A．ideas
B．punishment
C．behavior
D．instructions
（3）In moral matters，parents should.
A．observe the rules themselves
B．be aware of the marked difference between adults and children
C．forbid things which have no foundation in morality
D．consistently ensure the security of their children組卷：0引用：1難度：0.5

5．As soon as you come into contact with a new environment，chances are you will be hit with culture shock. （1）
I'd like to share my own past experiences and offer you some suggestions on how to overcome it and adjust to life as a freshman in the UK.
When I first arrived at university，I was a few weeks late due to some flight issues.I had never been to the UK before and I was extremely scared；everything seemed different.Culture shock was inevitable （不可避免）as I found it difficult to adjust to different aspects of UK society.Language，accents，mannerisms and even the food caught me off guard to start with.One of the effective ways to overcome it is to try and be open-minded.（2）
Since I was a new international student，my biggest concern was standing out amongst a completely different culture.Unfortunately，this led to me keeping to myself and not truly coming to terms with my new surroundings.（3）University life can be difficult at the beginning and many people around you understand this.You'd be amazed how much people will be willing to help you.If you don't ask any questions，you're not going to get any answers.
（4）This is particularly better if you are alongside other students who are also in the same beat，as you can go through the process together.Making friends at university is very important，especially at the beginning.（5）Making friends not only makes it easier to deal with but also goes a long way towards improving your social skills that will benefit your university experience as a whole.
A.Time and habit can help deal with culture shock.
B.The feeling is intense at the beginning of a stay abroad.
C.If there is one thing I wish I did more of，it would be asking questions.
D.Culture shock has less of an effect if you are with people around you.
E.Treat everything new as a chance to gain knowledge about the culture.
F.You'll learn to understand the world through your host culture's eyes.
G.It is a relief to know that you are not the only one suffering from culture shock.組卷：3引用：2難度：0.5
